Method Detail

matches

public boolean matches(Context context,
                       int top,
                       boolean setPosition)
                throws SAXException
Description copied from class: Tree
Determines if the event stack matches the pattern represented by this Tree object.

Overrides:
matches in class Tree
Parameters:
context - the Context object
top - the part of the stack to be considered while matching (the upper most element is at position top-1)
setPosition - true if the context position (Context.position) should be set in case the event stack matches this pattern
Returns:
true if the stack matches the pattern represented by this Tree.
Throws:
SAXException

evaluate

public Value evaluate(Context context,
                      int top)
               throws SAXException
Description copied from class: Tree
Evaluates the current Tree if it represents an expression.

Overrides:
evaluate in class Tree
Parameters:
context - the current Context
top - the part of the stack to be considered for the evaluation (the upper most element is at position top-1)
Returns:
a new computed Value object containing the result
Throws:
SAXException

isConstant

public boolean isConstant()
Overrides:
isConstant in class Tree
Returns:
whether the expression represented by this tree is constant
