AVT

public AVT(StylesheetHandler handler,
           java.lang.String uri,
           java.lang.String name,
           java.lang.String rawName,
           java.lang.String stringedValue)
    throws TransformerException
Construct an AVT by parsing the string, and either constructing a vector of AVTParts, or simply hold on to the string if the AVT is simple.
Parameters:
handler - non-null reference to StylesheetHandler that is constructing.
uri - non-null reference to URI, "" if null namespace.
name - non-null reference to name string.
rawName - prefixed name.
stringedValue - non-null raw string value.
Throws:
TransformerException -  
Method Detail

getRawName

public java.lang.String getRawName()
Get the raw name of the attribute, with the prefix unprocessed.
Returns:
non-null reference to prefixed name.

setRawName

public void setRawName(java.lang.String rawName)
Get the raw name of the attribute, with the prefix unprocessed.
Parameters:
rawName - non-null reference to prefixed name.

getName

public java.lang.String getName()
Get the local name of the attribute.
Returns:
non-null reference to name string.

setName

public void setName(java.lang.String name)
Set the local name of the attribute.
Parameters:
name - non-null reference to name string.

getURI

public java.lang.String getURI()
Get the namespace URI of the attribute.
Returns:
non-null reference to URI, "" if null namespace.

setURI

public void setURI(java.lang.String uri)
Get the namespace URI of the attribute.
Parameters:
uri - non-null reference to URI, "" if null namespace.

getSimpleString

public java.lang.String getSimpleString()
Get the AVT as the original string.
Returns:
The AVT as the original string

evaluate

public java.lang.String evaluate(XPathContext xctxt,
                                 Node context,
                                 PrefixResolver nsNode)
                          throws TransformerException
Evaluate the AVT and return a String.
Parameters:
xctxt - Te XPathContext to use to evaluate this.
context - The current source tree context.
nsNode - The current namespace context (stylesheet tree context).
NodeList - The current Context Node List.
Returns:
The AVT evaluated as a string
Throws:
TransformerException -  

isContextInsensitive

public boolean isContextInsensitive()
Test whether the AVT is insensitive to the context in which it is being evaluated. This is intended to facilitate compilation of templates, by allowing simple AVTs to be converted back into strings. Currently the only case we recognize is simple strings. ADDED 9/5/2000 to support compilation experiment
Returns:
True if the m_simpleString member of this AVT is not null

canTraverseOutsideSubtree

public boolean canTraverseOutsideSubtree()
Tell if this expression or it's subexpressions can traverse outside the current subtree.
Returns:
true if traversal outside the context node's subtree can occur.
