Class SortKeyDefinitionList

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.expr.Expression

net.sf.saxon.expr.PseudoExpression

net.sf.saxon.expr.sort.SortKeyDefinitionList

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<SortKeyDefinition>, IdentityComparable

public class SortKeyDefinitionList
extends PseudoExpression
implements Iterable<SortKeyDefinition>

The class represents a list of sort key definitions in major-to-minor sort key order. It is not a true expression, because it cannot be evaluated, but it acts as a node in the expression tree, and is therefore classified as a pseudo-expression.

Constructor Detail

SortKeyDefinitionList

public SortKeyDefinitionList(SortKeyDefinition[] sortKeyDefinitions)

Create a list of sort key definitions

Parameters:

sortKeyDefinitions - the sort key definitions, supplied as an array

Method Detail

operands

public Iterable<Operand> operands()

Get the operands of this SortKeyDefinitionList, treating it as a pseudo-expression.

Overrides:

operands in class Expression

Returns:

the operands: specifically, the contained sort key definitions, each of which is also treated as a pseudo-expression.

size

public int size()

Ask how many sort key definitions there are

Returns:

the number of sort key definitions in the list (always one or more)

getSortKeyDefinition

public SortKeyDefinition getSortKeyDefinition(int i)

Get the i'th sort key definition, counting from zero

Parameters:

i - the index of the required sort key definition

Returns:

the required sort key definition

iterator

public Iterator<SortKeyDefinition> iterator()

Get an iterator over the sort key definitions

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable<SortKeyDefinition>

Returns:

an iterator over the sort key definitions

copy

public SortKeyDefinitionList copy()

Copy this pseudo-expression

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Returns:

a deep copy

getImplementationMethod

public int getImplementationMethod()

An implementation of Expression must provide at least one of the methods evaluateItem(), iterate(), or process(). This method indicates which of these methods is provided directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.

Overrides:

getImplementationMethod in class PseudoExpression

Returns:

the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

export

public void export(ExpressionPresenter out)

Description copied from class: Expression

Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.

Specified by:

export in class Expression

Parameters:

out - the expression presenter used to display the structure
