Class XQueryEvaluator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Iterable<XdmItem>

    public class XQueryEvaluator
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.lang.Iterable<XdmItem>
    An XQueryEvaluator represents a compiled and loaded stylesheet ready for execution. The XQueryEvaluator holds details of the dynamic evaluation context for the stylesheet.

    An XQueryEvaluator must not be used concurrently in multiple threads. It is safe, however, to reuse the object within a single thread to run the same stylesheet several times. Running the stylesheet does not change the context that has been established.

    An XQueryEvaluator is always constructed by running the Load method of an XQueryExecutable.

    An XQueryEvaluator is itself a Iterable. This makes it possible to evaluate the results in a for-each expression.

                       throws SaxonApiException
        Set the source document for the query. This method is equivalent to building a document from the supplied source object, and then supplying the document node of the resulting document as the initial context node.
        Parameters:
        source - the principal source document for the transformation
        Throws:
        SaxonApiException
      • setContextItem

        public void setContextItem​(XdmItem item)
        Set the initial context item for the query
        Parameters:
        item - the initial context item, or null if there is to be no initial context item
      • getContextItem

        public XdmItem getContextItem()
        Get the initial context item for the query, if one has been set
        Returns:
        the initial context item, or null if none has been set. This will not necessarily be the same object as was supplied, but it will be an XdmItem object that represents the same underlying node or atomic value.
      • setExternalVariable

        public void setExternalVariable​(QName name,
                                        XdmValue value)

        Get the value that has been set for an external variable
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the external variable whose value is required
        Returns:
        the value that has been set for the external variable, or null if no value has been set

      • setErrorListener

        public void setErrorListener​(javax.xml.transform.ErrorListener listener)
        Set the error listener. The error listener receives reports of all run-time errors and can decide how to report them.
        Parameters:
        listener - the ErrorListener to be used
      • getErrorListener

        public javax.xml.transform.ErrorListener getErrorListener()
        Get the error listener.
        Returns:

      • setTraceListener

        public void setTraceListener​(TraceListener listener)
        Set a TraceListener which will receive messages relating to the evaluation of all expressions. This option has no effect unless the query was compiled to enable tracing.
        Parameters:
        listener - the TraceListener to use
      • getTraceListener

        public TraceListener getTraceListener()
        Get the registered TraceListener, if any
        Returns:
        listener the TraceListener in use, or null if none has been set
      • setTraceFunctionDestination

        public void setTraceFunctionDestination​(java.io.PrintStream stream)
        Set the destination for output from the fn:trace() function. By default, the destination is System.err. If a TraceListener is in use, this is ignored, and the trace() output is sent to the TraceListener.
        Parameters:
        stream - the PrintStream to which trace output will be sent. If set to null, trace output is suppressed entirely. It is the caller's responsibility to close the stream after use.
        Since:
        9.1
      • getTraceFunctionDestination

        public java.io.PrintStream getTraceFunctionDestination()
        Get the destination for output from the fn:trace() function.
        Returns:
        the PrintStream to which trace output will be sent. If no explicitly destination has been set, returns System.err. If the destination has been set to null to suppress trace output, returns null.
        Since:
        9.1
      • setDestination

        destination - The destination where the result document will be sent
        Throws:
        SaxonApiException - if any dynamic error occurs during the query

        Get an iterator over the results of the query. This method must not be used with an updating query
        Specified by:
        iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<XdmItem>
        Throws:
        SaxonApiUncheckedException - if a dynamic error is detected while constructing the iterator. It is also possible for an SaxonApiUncheckedException to be thrown by the hasNext() method of the returned iterator if a dynamic error occurs while evaluating the result sequence.
        java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this is an updating query
      • getUpdatedDocuments

        public java.util.Iterator<XdmNode> getUpdatedDocuments()
        After executing an updating query using the run() method, iterate over the root nodes of the documents updated by the query.

        The results remain available until a new query is executed. This method returns the results of the most recently executed query. It does not consume the results.

        Returns:
        an iterator over the root nodes of documents (or other trees) that were updated by the query

        Returns:
        the underlying object representing the dynamic context for query execution
