Class Rule

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Comparable<Rule>
    public class Rule
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable<Rule>

    Rule matches against DOM4J Node so that some action can be performed such as in the XSLT processing model.

    • Method Detail

      • equals

        public boolean equals(java.lang.Object that)
        Overrides:
        equals in class java.lang.Object

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class java.lang.Object

      • compareTo

        public int compareTo(Rule that)
        Compares two rules in XSLT processing model order assuming that the modes are equal.
        Specified by:
        compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<Rule>
        Parameters:
        that - DOCUMENT ME!
        Returns:
        DOCUMENT ME!

      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Overrides:
        toString in class java.lang.Object

      • matches

        public final boolean matches(Node node)
        DOCUMENT ME!
        Parameters:
        node - DOCUMENT ME!
        Returns:
        true if the pattern matches the given DOM4J node.

      • getUnionRules

        public Rule[] getUnionRules()
        If this rule contains a union pattern then this method should return an array of Rules which describe the union rule, which should contain more than one rule. Otherwise this method should return null.
        Returns:
        an array of the rules which make up this union rule or null if this rule is not a union rule

      • getMatchType

        public final short getMatchType()
        DOCUMENT ME!
        Returns:
        the type of node the pattern matches which by default should return ANY_NODE if it can match any kind of node.

      • getMatchesNodeName

        public final java.lang.String getMatchesNodeName()
        For patterns which only match an ATTRIBUTE_NODE or an ELEMENT_NODE then this pattern may return the name of the element or attribute it matches. This allows a more efficient rule matching algorithm to be performed, rather than a brute force approach of evaluating every pattern for a given Node.
        Returns:
        the name of the element or attribute this pattern matches or null if this pattern matches any or more than one name.
