Class StructuredQName

Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public class StructuredQName
extends java.lang.Object
implements Serializable

This class provides an economical representation of a QName triple (prefix, URI, and localname). The value is stored internally as a character array containing the concatenation of URI, localname, and prefix (in that order) with two integers giving the start positions of the localname and prefix.

Instances of this class are immutable.

Constructor Summary

StructuredQName(String prefix, String uri, String localName)
Construct a StructuredQName from a prefix, URI, and local name.
StructuredQName(NamePool pool, int nameCode)
Make a structuredQName from a Namepool nameCode

Method Summary

boolean
equals(Object other)
Compare two StructuredQName values for equality.
static StructuredQName
fromClarkName(String expandedName)
Make a structuredQName from a Clark name
static StructuredQName
fromLexicalQName(CharSequence lexicalName, boolean useDefault, NameChecker checker, NamespaceResolver resolver)
Make a structured QName from a lexical QName, using a supplied NamespaceResolver to resolve the prefix
String
getClarkName()
Get the expanded QName in Clark format, that is "{uri}local" if it is in a namespace, or just "local" otherwise.
String
getDisplayName()
Get the display name, that is the lexical QName in the form [prefix:]local-part
String
getLocalName()
Get the local part of the QName
String
getNamespaceURI()
Get the namespace URI of the QName.
String
getPrefix()
Get the prefix of the QName.
int
hashCode()
Get a hashcode to reflect the equals() method
Object
makeQName(Configuration config)
Temporary method to construct a javax.xml.namespace.QName without actually mentioning it by name (because the class is not available in JDK 1.4)

The toString() method displays the QName as a lexical QName, that is prefix:local

Constructor Details

StructuredQName

public StructuredQName(String prefix,
                       String uri,
                       String localName)
Construct a StructuredQName from a prefix, URI, and local name. This method performs no validation.
Parameters:
prefix - The prefix. Use an empty string to represent the null prefix.
uri - The namespace URI. Use an empty string or null to represent the no-namespace
localName - The local part of the name

StructuredQName

public StructuredQName(NamePool pool,
                       int nameCode)
Make a structuredQName from a Namepool nameCode
Parameters:
pool - the NamePool
nameCode - a name code that has been registered in the NamePool

Method Details

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)
Compare two StructuredQName values for equality. This compares the URI and local name parts, excluding any prefix

fromClarkName

public static StructuredQName fromClarkName(String expandedName)
Make a structuredQName from a Clark name
Parameters:
expandedName - the name in Clark notation "{uri}local" if in a namespace, or "local" otherwise. The format "{}local" is also accepted for a name in no namespace.
Returns:
the constructed StructuredQName

fromLexicalQName

public static StructuredQName fromLexicalQName(CharSequence lexicalName,
                                               boolean useDefault,
                                               NameChecker checker,
                                               NamespaceResolver resolver)
            throws XPathException
Make a structured QName from a lexical QName, using a supplied NamespaceResolver to resolve the prefix
Parameters:
lexicalName - the QName as a lexical name (prefix:local)
useDefault - set to true if an absent prefix implies use of the default namespace; set to false if an absent prefix implies no namespace
checker - NameChecker to be used to check conformance against XML 1.0 or 1.1 lexical rules
resolver - NamespaceResolver used to look up a URI for the prefix
Returns:
the StructuredQName object corresponding to this lexical QName
Throws:
XPathException - if the namespace prefix is not in scope or if the value is lexically invalid. Error code FONS0004 is set if the namespace prefix has not been declared; error code FOCA0002 is set if the name is lexically invalid.

getClarkName

public String getClarkName()
Get the expanded QName in Clark format, that is "{uri}local" if it is in a namespace, or just "local" otherwise.
Returns:
the QName in Clark notation

getDisplayName

public String getDisplayName()
Get the display name, that is the lexical QName in the form [prefix:]local-part
Returns:
the lexical QName

getLocalName

public String getLocalName()
Get the local part of the QName
Returns:
the local part of the QName

getNamespaceURI

public String getNamespaceURI()
Get the namespace URI of the QName.
Returns:
the URI. Returns the empty string to represent the no-namespace

getPrefix

public String getPrefix()
Get the prefix of the QName.
Returns:
the prefix. Returns the empty string if the name is unprefixed.

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Get a hashcode to reflect the equals() method
Returns:
a hashcode based on the URI and local part only, ignoring the prefix.

makeQName

public Object makeQName(Configuration config)
Temporary method to construct a javax.xml.namespace.QName without actually mentioning it by name (because the class is not available in JDK 1.4)
Parameters:
config - the Saxon configuration
Returns:
an object of class javax.xml.namespace.QName representing this qualified name, or null if the object cannot be constructed (typically because the class javax.xml.namespace.QName is not available)

toString

public String toString()
The toString() method displays the QName as a lexical QName, that is prefix:local
Returns:
the lexical QName
