public abstract class NodeTest extends Pattern
A NodeTest is a simple kind of pattern that enables a context-free test of whether
a node has a particular
name. There are five kinds of name test: a full name test, a prefix test, and an
"any node of a given type" test, an "any node of any type" test, and a "no nodes"
test (used, e.g. for "@comment()")
Method Summary
abstract boolean
matches (NodeInfo node)
Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node
boolean
matches (NodeInfo node,
Context c)
Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node, in a given Context
abstract boolean
matches (short nodeType,
int fingerprint)
Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node

matches
public abstract boolean matches (NodeInfo node)
Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node
matches
public abstract boolean matches (short nodeType,
int fingerprint)
Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node
Parameters: nodeType
- The type of node to be matchedfingerprint
- identifies the expanded name of the node to be matched.
The value should be -1 for a node with no name.
matches
public final boolean matches (NodeInfo node,
Context c)
Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node, in a given Context
Overrides: matches
in class Pattern
Following copied from class: com.icl.saxon.pattern.Pattern
Parameters: node
- The NodeInfo representing the Element or other node to be tested against the Patterncontext
- The context in which the match is to take place. Only relevant if the pattern
uses variables.Returns: true if the node matches the Pattern, false otherwise
