Interface OXQPreparedExpression

All Superinterfaces:

OXQDynamicContext

public interface OXQPreparedExpression
extends OXQDynamicContext

Extensions to javax.xml.xquery.XQPreparedExpression.

Use method OXQView.getPreparedExpression(XQPreparedExpression) to access these extensions. For example:

 OXQDataSource ds = new OXQDataSource();
 XQConnection con = ds.getConnection();
 XQPreparedExpression expr = con.prepareExpression(query);
 OXQPreparedExpression oexpr = OXQView.getPreparedExpression(expr);
 ...

12.1

Method Detail

getXQView

XQPreparedExpression getXQView()

Returns the XQPreparedExpression instance corresponding to this instance.

Specified by:

getXQView in interface OXQDynamicContext

Returns:

the expression

createsNewNodes

boolean createsNewNodes()
                 throws XQException

Indicates whether the expression creates new nodes using XQuery node constructors.

Returns:

true if the expression creates new nodes, false otherwise

Throws:

XQException - if (1) the current expression is closed, (2) the method is not supported for this particular expression

isFunction

boolean isFunction()
            throws XQException

Returns true if the expression is a function. In other words, returns true if the expression will return the same result given the same input (bindings).

Returns:

true if the current expression is a function, false otherwise

Throws:

XQException - if the current expression is closed

isContextItemUnbound

boolean isContextItemUnbound()
                      throws XQException

Indicates whether the context item is unbound.

Returns:

true if the context item is unbound, false otherwise

Throws:

XQException - if (1) the current expression is closed, (2) the method is not supported for this particular expression

getExpressionCategory

int getExpressionCategory()
                   throws XQException

Returns the expression category.

Returns:

The expression category. Must be either CATEGORY_SIMPLE or CATEGORY_UPDATING

Throws:

XQException - if (1) the current expression is closed, or (2) the method is not supported for this particular query

getAllUnboundAndUsedExternalVariables

javax.xml.namespace.QName[] getAllUnboundAndUsedExternalVariables()
                                                           throws XQException

Retrieves the names of all unbound external variables that are also used within the query. The standard XQJ XQPreparedExpression.getAllUnboundExternalVariables() method returns all unbound external variables, even if they are not used in the query. This method is added to be able to retrieve only the used unbound external variables.

Returns:

the names of all the external variables defined in the prolog of a prepared expression that are yet to be bound with a value, and that are used in the query. If there are no such variables an empty array is returned

Throws:

XQException - if the prepared expression is in a closed state

getExpressionStaticContext

XQStaticContext getExpressionStaticContext()
                                    throws XQException

Retrieves the static context of the expression's main module. The context exposes component values as overwritten or augmented by the prolog of the main module. This method is different than XQPreparedExpression.getStaticContext() which returns the starting context used to create the expression. Also, unlike the context returned from getStaticContext(), the module context may not be used to prepare another expression.

Returns:

the static context of the main module

Throws:

if - the prepared expression is in a closed state

XQException
