Constructor Detail

### Base64BinaryValue

    public Base64BinaryValue(java.lang.CharSequence s)
                      throws XPathException

  Constructor: create a base64Binary value from a supplied string in base64 encoding

  Parameters:
    `s` - the lexical representation of the base64 binary value. There is no requirement that whitespace should already be collapsed.
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### Base64BinaryValue

    public Base64BinaryValue(java.lang.CharSequence s,
                             AtomicType type)

  Constructor: create a base64Binary value from a supplied string in base64 encoding, with a specified type. This method throws no checked exceptions; the caller is expected to ensure that the string is a valid Base64 lexical representation, that it conforms to the specified type, and that the type is indeed a subtype of xs:base64Binary. An unchecked exception such as an IllegalArgumentException may be thrown if these conditions are not satisfied, but this is not guaranteed.

  Parameters:
    `s` - the value in base64 encoding
    `type` - the atomic type. This must be xs:base64binary or a subtype.

### Base64BinaryValue

    public Base64BinaryValue(byte[] value)

  Constructor: create a base64Binary value from a given array of bytes

  Parameters:
    `value` - array of bytes holding the octet sequence

Method Detail

### copyAsSubType

    public AtomicValue copyAsSubType(AtomicType typeLabel)

  Create a copy of this atomic value (usually so that the type label can be changed). The type label of the copy will be reset to the primitive type.

  Specified by:
    `copyAsSubType` in class `AtomicValue`
  Parameters:
    `typeLabel` - the type label to be attached to the value, a subtype of xs:base64Binary
  Returns:
    the copied value

### getBinaryValue

    public byte[] getBinaryValue()

  Get the binary value

  Returns:
    the octet sequence that is the typed value

### getPrimitiveType

    public BuiltInAtomicType getPrimitiveType()

  Description copied from class: `AtomicValue`
  Determine the primitive type of the value. This delivers the same answer as getItemType().getPrimitiveItemType(). The primitive types are the 19 primitive types of XML Schema, plus xs:integer, xs:dayTimeDuration and xs:yearMonthDuration, and xs:untypedAtomic. For external objects, the result is xs:anyAtomicType.

  Specified by:
    `getPrimitiveType` in class `AtomicValue`
  Returns:
    the primitive type

### convertPrimitive

    public ConversionResult convertPrimitive(BuiltInAtomicType requiredType,
                                             boolean validate,
                                             XPathContext context)

  Convert to target data type

  Specified by:
    `convertPrimitive` in class `AtomicValue`
  Parameters:
    `requiredType` - an integer identifying the required atomic type
    `context` - the XPath dynamic evaluation context
    `validate` - true if validation is required. If set to false, the caller guarantees that the value is valid for the target data type, and that further validation is therefore not required. Note that a validation failure may be reported even if validation was not requested.
  Returns:
    an AtomicValue, a value of the required type; or an ErrorValue

### getStringValue

    public java.lang.String getStringValue()

  Convert to string

  Specified by:
    `getStringValue` in interface `Item`
  Specified by:
    `getStringValue` in interface `ValueRepresentation`
  Specified by:
    `getStringValue` in class `AtomicValue`
  Returns:
    the canonical representation.
  See Also:
    `Item.getStringValueCS()`

### getLengthInOctets

    public int getLengthInOctets()

  Get the number of octets in the value

  Returns:
    the number of octets

### getSchemaComparable

    public java.lang.Comparable getSchemaComparable()

  Support XML Schema comparison semantics

  Specified by:
    `getSchemaComparable` in class `AtomicValue`
  Returns:
    a Comparable that follows XML Schema comparison rules

### getXPathComparable

    public java.lang.Object getXPathComparable(boolean ordered,
                                               StringCollator collator,
                                               XPathContext context)

  Get an object value that implements the XPath equality and ordering comparison semantics for this value. If the ordered parameter is set to true, the result will be a Comparable and will support a compareTo() method with the semantics of the XPath lt/gt operator, provided that the other operand is also obtained using the getXPathComparable() method. In all cases the result will support equals() and hashCode() methods that support the semantics of the XPath eq operator, again provided that the other operand is also obtained using the getXPathComparable() method. A context argument is supplied for use in cases where the comparison semantics are context-sensitive, for example where they depend on the implicit timezone or the default collation.

  Specified by:
    `getXPathComparable` in class `AtomicValue`
  Parameters:
    `ordered` - true if an ordered comparison is required. In this case the result is null if the type is unordered; in other cases the returned value will be a Comparable.
    `collator` -
    `context` - the XPath dynamic evaluation context, used in cases where the comparison is context sensitive @return an Object whose equals() and hashCode() methods implement the XPath comparison semantics with respect to this atomic value. If ordered is specified, the result will either be null if no ordering is defined, or will be a Comparable
  Returns:
    an Object whose equals() and hashCode() methods implement the XPath comparison semantics with respect to this atomic value. If ordered is specified, the result will either be null if no ordering is defined, or will be a Comparable

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

  Test if the two base64Binary values are equal.

  Specified by:
    `equals` in class `AtomicValue`
  Parameters:
    `other` - the other value
  Returns:
    true if the other operand is an atomic value and the two values are equal as defined by the XPath eq operator

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

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

### byteArrayHashCode

    protected static int byteArrayHashCode(byte[] value)
