All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.io.Serializable, ItemType

    public class NameTest

extends NodeTest

NodeTest is an interface that enables a test of whether a node has a particular name and type. A NameTest matches the node kind and the namespace URI and the local name.

Constructor Detail

### NameTest

    public NameTest(int nodeKind,
                    java.lang.String uri,
                    java.lang.String localName,
                    NamePool namePool)

  Create a NameTest to match nodes by name

  Parameters:
    `nodeKind` - the kind of node, for example `Type.ELEMENT`
    `uri` - the namespace URI of the required nodes. Supply "" to match nodes that are in no namespace
    `localName` - the local name of the required nodes. Supply "" to match unnamed nodes
    `namePool` - the namePool holding the name codes
  Since:
    9.0

### NameTest

    public NameTest(int nodeKind,
                    int nameCode,
                    NamePool namePool)

  Create a NameTest to match nodes by their nameCode allocated from the NamePool

  Parameters:
    `nodeKind` - the kind of node, for example `Type.ELEMENT`
    `nameCode` - the nameCode representing the name of the node
    `namePool` - the namePool holding the name codes
  Since:
    8.4

### NameTest

    public NameTest(NodeInfo node)

  Create a NameTest for nodes of the same type and name as a given node

  Parameters:
    `node` - the node whose node kind and node name will form the basis of the NameTest

Method Detail

### matches

    public boolean matches(int nodeKind,
                           int nameCode,
                           int annotation)

  Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node

  Specified by:
    `matches` in class `NodeTest`
  Parameters:
    `nodeKind` - The type of node to be matched
    `nameCode` - identifies the expanded name of the node to be matched
    `annotation` - The actual content type of the node

### matches

    public boolean matches(TinyTree tree,
                           int nodeNr)

  Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node on a TinyTree. The node must be a document, element, text, comment, or processing instruction node. This method is provided so that when navigating a TinyTree a node can be rejected without actually instantiating a NodeInfo object.

  Overrides:
    `matches` in class `NodeTest`
  Parameters:
    `tree` - the TinyTree containing the node
    `nodeNr` - the number of the node within the TinyTree
  Returns:
    true if the node matches the NodeTest, otherwise false

### matches

    public boolean matches(NodeInfo node)

  Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node. This alternative method is used in the case of nodes where calculating the fingerprint is expensive, for example DOM or JDOM nodes.

  Overrides:
    `matches` in class `NodeTest`
  Parameters:
    `node` - the node to be matched

### getDefaultPriority

    public final double getDefaultPriority()

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

  Specified by:
    `getDefaultPriority` in class `NodeTest`

### getFingerprint

    public int getFingerprint()

  Get the fingerprint required

  Overrides:
    `getFingerprint` in class `NodeTest`

### getPrimitiveType

    public int getPrimitiveType()

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

  Specified by:
    `getPrimitiveType` in interface `ItemType`
  Overrides:
    `getPrimitiveType` in class `NodeTest`
  Returns:
    the type of node matched by this pattern. e.g. Type.ELEMENT or Type.TEXT

### getSuperType

    public ItemType getSuperType(TypeHierarchy th)

  Get the type from which this item type is derived by restriction. This is the supertype in the XPath type heirarchy, as distinct from the Schema base type: this means that the supertype of xs:boolean is xs:anyAtomicType, whose supertype is item() (rather than xs:anySimpleType).

  In fact the concept of "supertype" is not really well-defined, because the types form a lattice rather than a hierarchy. The only real requirement on this function is that it returns a type that strictly subsumes this type, ideally as narrowly as possible.

  Specified by:
    `getSuperType` in interface `ItemType`
  Overrides:
    `getSuperType` in class `NodeTest`
  Parameters:
    `th` - the type hierarchy cache
  Returns:
    the supertype, or null if this type is item()

### getNodeKindMask

    public int getNodeKindMask()

  Get a mask indicating which kinds of nodes this NodeTest can match. This is a combination of bits: 1<
  Overrides:
    `getNodeKindMask` in class `NodeTest`

### getRequiredNodeNames

    public IntHashSet getRequiredNodeNames()

  Get the set of node names allowed by this NodeTest. This is returned as a set of Integer fingerprints. A null value indicates that all names are permitted (i.e. that there are no constraints on the node name. The default implementation returns null.

  Overrides:
    `getRequiredNodeNames` in class `NodeTest`

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString(NamePool pool)

  Description copied from class: `NodeTest`
  Display the type descriptor for diagnostics

  Specified by:
    `toString` in interface `ItemType`
  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `NodeTest`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Returns a hash code value for the object.

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `java.lang.Object`

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

  Determines whether two NameTests are equal

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `java.lang.Object`
