Constructor Detail

NoNodeTest

public NoNodeTest()

Method Detail

getInstance

public static NoNodeTest getInstance()

Get a NoNodeTest instance

getNodeKind

public final int getNodeKind()

Description copied from class: Pattern

Determine the types of nodes to which this pattern applies. Used for optimisation. For patterns that match nodes of several types, return Type.NODE

Overrides:

getNodeKind in class Pattern

Returns:

the type of node matched by this pattern. e.g. Type.ELEMENT or Type.TEXT

matchesItem

public boolean matchesItem(Item item)

Test whether a given item conforms to this type

Specified by:

matchesItem in interface ItemType

Overrides:

matchesItem in class NodeTest

Parameters:

item - The item to be tested

Returns:

true if the item is an instance of this type; false otherwise

matches

public boolean matches(int nodeType,
                       int fingerprint,
                       int annotation)

Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node

Specified by:

matches in class NodeTest

Parameters:

nodeType - The type of node to be matched

fingerprint - identifies the expanded name of the node to be matched

annotation - The actual content type of the node

getDefaultPriority

public final double getDefaultPriority()

Determine the default priority of this node test when used on its own as a Pattern

Overrides:

getDefaultPriority in class Pattern

allowsTextNodes

public boolean allowsTextNodes()

Indicate whether this NodeTest is capable of matching text nodes

Specified by:

allowsTextNodes in class NodeTest

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Pattern

Get the original pattern text

Specified by:

toString in interface ItemType

Overrides:

toString in class Pattern
