Method Details

getExpr

public Expr getExpr()

Description copied from interface: Predicate

Returns the expression in this predicate.

Specified by:

getExpr in interface Predicate

Returns:

the expression between the brackets

setExpr

public void setExpr(Expr expr)

Description copied from interface: Predicate

Change the expression used by this predicate.

Specified by:

setExpr in interface Predicate

Parameters:

expr - the new expression

getText

public String getText()

Description copied from interface: Predicate

Returns the string form of the predicate, including the square brackets.

Specified by:

getText in interface Predicate

Returns:

the bracketed form of this predicate

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

simplify

public void simplify()

Description copied from interface: Predicate

Simplify the expression in this predicate.

Specified by:

simplify in interface Predicate

• Expr.simplify()

evaluate

public Object evaluate(Context context)
                throws JaxenException

Description copied from interface: Predicate

Evaluates this predicate's expression and returns the result. The result will be a java.lang.Double for expressions that return a number, a java.lang.String for expressions that return a string, a java.lang.Boolean for expressions that return a boolean, and a java.util.List for expressions that return a node-set. In the latter case, the elements of the list are the actual objects from the source document model. Copies are not made.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface Predicate

Parameters:

context - the context in which the expression is evaluated

Returns:

an object representing the result of the evaluation

Throws:

JaxenException
