  com.caucho.xpath.Pattern

public class Pattern
extends java.lang.Object

A node selection pattern. Patterns represent compiled XPath node selectors. They can be used to find nodes, select nodes, and test if a node matches a pattern.

There are two types of patterns: select patterns and match patterns.

Select patterns match a node relative to another node. find and select use select patterns.

Match patterns match a node in isolation. isMatch uses match patterns.

Method Detail

find

public org.w3c.dom.Node find(org.w3c.dom.Node node)
                      throws XPathException

Returns the first node matching the pattern. The pattern should be a select pattern.

Parameters:

node - node represented by '.' and start of match.

Returns:

first matching node

Throws:

XPathException

find

public org.w3c.dom.Node find(org.w3c.dom.Node node,
                             ExprEnvironment env)
                      throws XPathException

Returns the first node matching the pattern. The pattern should be a select pattern.

Parameters:

node - node represented by '.' and start of match.

env - variable environment.

Returns:

first matching node

Throws:

XPathException

select

public NodeIterator select(org.w3c.dom.Node node)
                    throws XPathException

Selects all nodes matching the pattern. The pattern should be a select pattern.

Parameters:

node - node represented by '.' and start of match.

Returns:

iterator of matching nodes

Throws:

XPathException

select

public NodeIterator select(org.w3c.dom.Node node,
                           ExprEnvironment env)
                    throws XPathException

Selects all nodes matching the pattern. The pattern should be a select pattern.

Parameters:

context - node represented by '.' and start of match.

env - variable environment.

Returns:

iterator of matching nodes

Throws:

XPathException

isMatch

public boolean isMatch(org.w3c.dom.Node node)
                throws XPathException

Test if the node matches the pattern. The pattern should be a match pattern.

Parameters:

node - node to test

Returns:

true if the pattern matches.

Throws:

XPathException

isMatch

public boolean isMatch(org.w3c.dom.Node node,
                       ExprEnvironment env)
                throws XPathException

Test if the node matches the pattern. The pattern should be a match pattern.

Parameters:

node - node to test

env - variable environment.

Returns:

true if the pattern matches.

Throws:

XPathException

getPattern

public AbstractPattern getPattern()

Returns the underlying pattern implementation.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
