- public class SortedSelection
- extends NodeSetExpression
A NodeSetExpression that retrieves nodes in order according to a specified sort key.
Note there is no direct XSL expression syntax that generates this.
The expression sorts a base NodeSet according to the value of a specified
sort key. The sort key may be composite. The base NodeSet will always be in document
order.

SortedSelection
public SortedSelection(Expression s)
- Constructor
- Parameters:
s
- the base nodeset to be sorted
addSortKey
public void addSortKey(SortKeyDefinition sk)
- Add a sort key and other sorting parameters
- Parameters:
sk
- A SortKeyDefinition
simplify
public Expression simplify()
throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
- Simplify an expression
- Overrides:
simplify
in class Expression
- Returns:
- the simplified expression
getDependencies
public int getDependencies()
- Determine which aspects of the context the expression depends on. The result is
a bitwise-or'ed value composed from constants such as Context.VARIABLES and
Context.CURRENT_NODE
- Overrides:
getDependencies
in class Expression
reduce
public Expression reduce(int dependencies,
Context context)
throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
- Perform a partial evaluation of the expression, by eliminating specified dependencies
on the context.
- Overrides:
reduce
in class Expression
- Parameters:
dependencies
- The dependencies to be removedcontext
- The context to be used for the partial evaluation- Returns:
- a new expression that does not have any of the specified
dependencies
enumerate
public NodeEnumeration enumerate(Context context,
boolean sort)
throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
- Evaluate the expression by sorting the base nodeset using the supplied key.
- Overrides:
enumerate
in class NodeSetExpression
- Parameters:
context
- The context for the evaluationsort:
- must be false (because document order would be meaningless)- Returns:
- the sorted nodeset
