Class IdFunction

Implemented Interfaces:
XPathExpression

public final class IdFunction
extends Pattern

The id function selects elements by their unique ID. When the argument to id is of type node-set, then the result is the union of the result of applying id to the string-value of each of the nodes in the argument node-set. When the argument to id is of any other type, the argument is converted to a string as if by a call to the string function; the string is split into a whitespace-separated list of tokens (whitespace is any sequence of characters matching the production S); the result is a node-set containing the elements in the same document as the context node that have a unique ID equal to any of the tokens in the list.

Method Details

Object evaluate

public @Override Object evaluate(Node context,
                                 int pos,
                                 int len)

clone

public Expr clone(Object context)
Overrides:
clone in interface Expr

matches

public boolean matches(Node context)
Overrides:
matches in interface Pattern

references

public boolean references(QName var)
Overrides:
references in interface Expr

toString

public String toString()
Convert this Object to a human-readable String. There are no limits placed on how long this String should be or what it should contain. We suggest you make it as intuitive as possible to be able to place it into System.out.println() and such.

It is typical, but not required, to ensure that this method never completes abruptly with a RuntimeException.

This method will be called when performing string concatenation with this object. If the result is null, string concatenation will instead use "null".

The default implementation returns getClass().getName() + "@" + Integer.toHexString(hashCode()).

Overrides:
toString in interface Object
Returns:
the String representing this Object, which may be null
