Class StaticQueryContext

    java.lang.Object
      net.sf.saxon.query.StaticQueryContext

    public class StaticQueryContext

extends java.lang.Object

StaticQueryContext contains information used to build a StaticContext for use when processing XQuery expressions.

Despite its name, `StaticQueryContext` no longer implements the `StaticContext` interface, which means it cannot be used directly by Saxon when parsing a query. Instead it is first copied to create a `QueryModule` object, which does implement the `StaticContext` interface.

The application constructs a StaticQueryContext and initializes it with information about the context, for example, default namespaces, base URI, and so on. When a query is compiled using this StaticQueryContext, the query parser makes a copy of the StaticQueryContext and uses this internally, modifying it with information obtained from the query prolog, as well as information such as namespace and variable declarations that can occur at any point in the query. The query parser does not modify the original StaticQueryContext supplied by the calling application, which may therefore be used for compiling multiple queries, serially or even in multiple threads.

This class forms part of Saxon's published XQuery API. Methods that are considered stable are labelled with the JavaDoc "since" tag. The value 8.4 indicates a method introduced at or before Saxon 8.4; other values indicate the version at which the method was introduced.

In the longer term, this entire API may at some stage be superseded by a proposed standard Java API for XQuery.

Since:
  8.4

Constructor Detail

### StaticQueryContext

    protected StaticQueryContext()

  Private constructor used when copying a context

### StaticQueryContext

    public StaticQueryContext(Configuration config)

  Create a StaticQueryContext using a given Configuration. This creates a StaticQueryContext for a main module (that is, a module that is not a library module).

  Parameters:
    `config` - the Saxon Configuration
  Since:
    8.4

Method Detail

### reset

    public void reset()

  Reset the state of this StaticQueryContext to an uninitialized state

  Since:
    8.4

### setConfiguration

    public void setConfiguration(Configuration config)

  Set the Configuration options

  Parameters:
    `config` - the Saxon Configuration
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the configuration supplied is different from the existing configuration
  Since:
    8.4

### getConfiguration

    public Configuration getConfiguration()

  Get the Configuration options

  Returns:
    the Saxon configuration
  Since:
    8.4

### setExecutable

    public void setExecutable(Executable executable)

  Set the Executable to contain this query. Normally a query constitutes its own Executable, and the executable will then be created automatically. This method is used when the query is to share the same executable as a host program, specifically, an XSLT stylesheet that imports the query.

  Parameters:
    `executable` - the executable

### getExecutable

    public Executable getExecutable()

  Get the executable containing this query

  Returns:
    the executable (or null if not set)

### setBaseURI

    public void setBaseURI(java.lang.String baseURI)

  Set the Base URI of the query

  Parameters:
    `baseURI` - the base URI of the query
  Since:
    8.4

### buildDocument

    public DocumentInfo buildDocument(javax.xml.transform.Source source)
                               throws XPathException

  Convenience method for building Saxon's internal representation of a source XML document. The document will be built using Configuration (and NamePool) associated with this StaticQueryContext.

  This method is retained for backwards compatibility; however, it is merely a wrapper around the method `Configuration.buildDocument(javax.xml.transform.Source)`, which should be called in preference.

  Parameters:
    `source` - Any javax.xml.transform.Source object representing the document against which queries will be executed. Note that a Saxon `DocumentInfo` (indeed any `NodeInfo`) can be used as a Source. To use a third-party DOM Document as a source, create an instance of `DOMSource` to wrap it.

    For additional control over the way in which the source document is processed, supply an `AugmentedSource` object and set appropriate options on the object.

  Returns:
    the DocumentInfo representing the root node of the resulting document object.
  Throws:
    `XPathException`
  Since:
    8.4

### isCompileWithTracing

  Since:
    9.0

### setGeneratingJavaCode

    public void setGeneratingJavaCode(boolean generateCode)

    `generateCode` - true if Java code is to be generated as the final output

### isGeneratingJavaCode

    public boolean isGeneratingJavaCode()

  Ask whether this query is to be optimized with a view to generating Java code. This inhibits some rewrites to constructs for which code generation is not possible.

### compileQuery

    public XQueryExpression compileQuery(java.lang.String query)
                                  throws XPathException

  Prepare an XQuery query for subsequent evaluation. The source text of the query is supplied as a String. The base URI of the query is taken from the static context, and defaults to the current working directory.

  Note that this interface makes the caller responsible for decoding the query and presenting it as a string of characters. This means it is likely that any encoding specified in the query prolog will be ignored.

  Parameters:
    `query` - The XQuery query to be evaluated, supplied as a string.
  Returns:
    an XQueryExpression object representing the prepared expression
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if the syntax of the expression is wrong, or if it references namespaces, variables, or functions that have not been declared, or contains other static errors.
  Since:
    8.4

### compileQuery

    public XQueryExpression compileQuery(java.io.Reader source)
                                  throws XPathException,
                                         java.io.IOException

  Prepare an XQuery query for subsequent evaluation. The Query is supplied in the form of a Reader. The base URI of the query is taken from the static context, and defaults to the current working directory.

  Note that this interface makes the Reader responsible for decoding the query and presenting it as a stream of characters. This means it is likely that any encoding specified in the query prolog will be ignored. Also, some implementations of Reader cannot handle a byte order mark.

  Parameters:
    `source` - A Reader giving access to the text of the XQuery query to be compiled.
  Returns:
    an XPathExpression object representing the prepared expression.
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if the syntax of the expression is wrong, or if it references namespaces, variables, or functions that have not been declared, or any other static error is reported.
    `java.io.IOException` - if a failure occurs reading the supplied input.
  Since:
    8.4

### compileQuery

    public XQueryExpression compileQuery(java.io.InputStream source,
                                         java.lang.String encoding)
                                  throws XPathException,
                                         java.io.IOException

  Prepare an XQuery query for subsequent evaluation. The Query is supplied in the form of a InputStream, with an optional encoding. If the encoding is not specified, the query parser attempts to obtain the encoding by inspecting the input stream: it looks specifically for a byte order mark, and for the encoding option in the version declaration of an XQuery prolog. The encoding defaults to UTF-8. The base URI of the query is taken from the static context, and defaults to the current working directory.

  Parameters:
    `source` - An InputStream giving access to the text of the XQuery query to be compiled, as a stream of octets
    `encoding` - The encoding used to translate characters to octets in the query source. The parameter may be null: in this case the query parser attempts to infer the encoding by inspecting the source, and if that fails, it assumes UTF-8 encoding
  Returns:
    an XPathExpression object representing the prepared expression.
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if the syntax of the expression is wrong, or if it references namespaces, variables, or functions that have not been declared, or any other static error is reported.
    `java.io.IOException` - if a failure occurs reading the supplied input.
  Since:
    8.5

### declareNamespace

    public void declareNamespace(java.lang.String prefix,
                                 java.lang.String uri)

  Declare a namespace whose prefix can be used in expressions. This is equivalent to declaring a prefix in the Query prolog. Any namespace declared in the Query prolog overrides a namespace declared using this API.

  Parameters:
    `prefix` - The namespace prefix. Must not be null. Setting this to "" means that the namespace will be used as the default namespace for elements and types.
    `uri` - The namespace URI. Must not be null. The value "" (zero-length string) is used to undeclare a namespace; it is not an error if there is no existing binding for the namespace prefix.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if either the prefix or URI is null
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the prefix is "xml" and the namespace is not the XML namespace, or vice versa.
  Since:
    9.0

### declarePassiveNamespace

    public void declarePassiveNamespace(java.lang.String prefix,
                                        java.lang.String uri,
                                        boolean explicit)
                                 throws XPathException

  Deprecated. since 9.0. Use `declareNamespace(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`

  Declare a namespace whose prefix can be used in expressions. This is equivalent to declaring a prefix in the Query prolog. The term "passive" was a term from a draft XQuery proposal indicating a namespace that won't be copied into the result tree. Passive namespaces are never undeclared. Any namespace declared in the Query prolog overrides a namespace declared using this API.

  Parameters:
    `prefix` - The namespace prefix. Must not be null.
    `uri` - The namespace URI. Must not be null. The value "" (zero-length string) is used to undeclare a namespace; it is not an error if there is no existing binding for the namespace prefix.
    `explicit` - Must be false (the value true was previously reserved for internal use, but is no longer permitted)
  Throws:
    `XPathException`
  Since:
    8.4

### clearNamespaces

    public void clearNamespaces()

  Clear all the user-declared namespaces

  Since:
    9.0

### getUserDeclaredNamespaces

    protected java.util.HashMap getUserDeclaredNamespaces()

  Get the map of user-declared namespaces

  Returns:
    the user-declared namespaces

### clearPassiveNamespaces

    public void clearPassiveNamespaces()

  Deprecated. since 9.0 - use `clearNamespaces()`

  Clear all the declared passive namespaces, except for the standard ones (xml, saxon, etc)

  Since:
    8.4

### iterateDeclaredPrefixes

    public java.util.Iterator iterateDeclaredPrefixes()

  Get the namespace prefixes that have been declared using the method `declareNamespace(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`

  Returns:
    an iterator that returns the namespace prefixes that have been explicitly declared, as strings. The default namespace for elements and types will be included, using the prefix "".
  Since:
    9.0

### getNamespaceForPrefix

    public java.lang.String getNamespaceForPrefix(java.lang.String prefix)

  Get the namespace URI for a given prefix, which must have been declared using the method `declareNamespace(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`. Note that this method will not call the external namespace resolver to resolve the prefix.

  Parameters:
    `prefix` - the namespace prefix, or "" to represent the null prefix
  Returns:
    the namespace URI. Returns "" to represent the non-namespace, null to indicate that the prefix has not been declared

### setExternalNamespaceResolver

    public void setExternalNamespaceResolver(NamespaceResolver resolver)

  Set an external namespace resolver. If a namespace prefix cannot be resolved using any other mechanism, then as a last resort the external namespace resolver is called to obtain a URI for the given prefix.

  Changed in Saxon 9.0 so that the namespaces resolved by the external namespace resolver are available at run-time, just like namespaces declared in the query prolog. In consequence, the supplied NamespaceResolver must now implement the `NamespaceResolver.iteratePrefixes()` method.

  Parameters:
    `resolver` - the external namespace resolver

### getExternalNamespaceResolver

    public NamespaceResolver getExternalNamespaceResolver()

  Get the external namespace resolver that has been registered using setExternalNamespaceResolver(), if any.

  Since:
    8.4

### getDefaultElementNamespace

    public java.lang.String getDefaultElementNamespace()

  Get the default namespace for elements and types

  Returns:
    the namespace URI to be used as the default namespace for elements and types
  Since:
    8.9 Modified in 8.9 to return the namespace URI as a string rather than an integer code

### declareGlobalVariable

    public void declareGlobalVariable(StructuredQName qName,
                                      SequenceType type,
                                      ValueRepresentation value,
                                      boolean external)
                               throws XPathException

  Declare a global variable. This has the same effect as including a global variable declaration in the Query Prolog of the main query module. A static error occurs when compiling the query if the query prolog contains a declaration of the same variable.

  Parameters:
    `qName` - the qualified name of the variable
    `type` - the declared type of the variable
    `value` - the initial value of the variable. May be null if the variable is external.
    `external` - true if the variable is external, that is, if its value may be set at run-time.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the value is null, unless the variable is external
    `XPathException` - if the value of the variable is not consistent with its type.
  Since:
    9.1

### iterateDeclaredGlobalVariables

    public java.util.Iterator iterateDeclaredGlobalVariables()

  Iterate over all the declared global variables

  Returns:
    an iterator over all the global variables that have been declared. They are returned as instances of class `GlobalVariableDefinition`
  Since:
    9.1

### clearDeclaredGlobalVariables

    public void clearDeclaredGlobalVariables()

  Clear all declared global variables

  Since:
    9.1

### setModuleURIResolver

    public void setModuleURIResolver(ModuleURIResolver resolver)

  Set a user-defined ModuleURIResolver for resolving URIs used in "import module" declarations in the XQuery prolog. This will be used for resolving URIs in XQuery "import module" declarations, overriding any ModuleURIResolver that was specified as part of the configuration.

  Parameters:
    `resolver` - the ModuleURIResolver to be used

### getModuleURIResolver

    public ModuleURIResolver getModuleURIResolver()

  Get the user-defined ModuleURIResolver for resolving URIs used in "import module" declarations in the XQuery prolog; returns null if none has been explicitly set either on the StaticQueryContext or on the Configuration.

  Returns:
    the registered ModuleURIResolver

### declareCollation

    public void declareCollation(java.lang.String name,
                                 java.util.Comparator comparator)

  Declare a named collation. Collations are only available in a query if this method has been called externally to declare the collation and associate it with an implementation, in the form of a Java Comparator. The default collation is the Unicode codepoint collation, unless otherwise specified.

  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the collation (technically, a URI)
    `comparator` - The Java Comparator used to implement the collating sequence
  Since:
    8.4.

### declareCollation

    public void declareCollation(java.lang.String name,
                                 StringCollator comparator)

  Declare a named collation. Collations are only available in a query if this method has been called externally to declare the collation and associate it with an implementation, in the form of a Java StringCollator. The default collation is the Unicode codepoint collation, unless otherwise specified.

  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the collation (technically, a URI)
    `comparator` - The Java Comparator used to implement the collating sequence
  Since:
    8.9.

### declareDefaultCollation

    public void declareDefaultCollation(java.lang.String name)

  Set the default collation.

  Parameters:
    `name` - The collation name, as specified in the query prolog. The name is not validated until it is used.
  Since:
    8.4. Changed in 8.6 so it no longer validates the collation name: this is because the base URI is not necessarily known at the point where the default collation is declared.

### getCollation

    public StringCollator getCollation(java.lang.String name)

  Get a named collation.

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the collation, as an absolute URI
  Returns:
    the collation identified by the given name, as set previously using declareCollation. If no collation with this name has been declared, the method calls the CollationURIResolver to locate a collation with this name. Return null if no collation with this name is found.
  Since:
    8.4

### getCollationMap

    public CollationMap getCollationMap()

  Get the collation map

  Returns:
    the collation map, which identifies all the known collations

### getDefaultCollationName

    public java.lang.String getDefaultCollationName()

  Get the name of the default collation.

  Returns:
    the name of the default collation; or the name of the codepoint collation if no default collation has been defined. The name is returned in the form it was specified; that is, it is not yet resolved against the base URI. (This is because the base URI declaration can follow the default collation declaration in the query prolog.) If no default collation has been specified, the "default default" (that is, the Unicode codepoint collation) is returned.
  Since:
    8.4

### getAllCollations

    public CollationMap getAllCollations()

  Get a HashMap that maps all registered collations to Comparators. Note that this returns a snapshot copy of the data held by the static context. This method is provided for internal use by the query processor.

  This method is intended for internal use.

  Returns:
    the CollationMap containing all the collations defined in this static context

### setRequiredContextItemType

    public void setRequiredContextItemType(ItemType type)

  Declare the static type of the context item. If this type is declared, and if a context item is supplied when the query is invoked, then the context item must conform to this type (no type conversion will take place to force it into this type).

  Parameters:
    `type` - the required type of the context item

### getRequiredContextItemType

    public ItemType getRequiredContextItemType()

  Get the required type of the context item. If no type has been explicitly declared for the context item, an instance of AnyItemType (representing the type item()) is returned.
