java.lang.Object
  com.novell.xml.xpath.WildcardName

All Implemented Interfaces:

NodeTest

public class WildcardName

extends Object

implements NodeTest

Class that represents a WildcardName in an XPath production. A WildcardName is of the form: '*' | NCName ':' '*' | QName This implements NodeTest so WildcardName is a NodeTest in a Basis

Constructor Summary

WildcardName(String name, NamespaceContext nsContext)

WildcardName(WildcardNameToken token, NamespaceContext nsContext)
Construct a WildcardName NodeTest from the lexical token

Method Summary

boolean	evaluate(Node node) Evaluate the NodeTest with respect to the expression context
String	getLocalPart() Return the local-part of the WildcardName.
ExpandedQName	getName() Return the expanded name associated with this WildcardName
NamespaceName	getNamespaceName() Return the namespace name for the prefix, if any.
String	getPrefix() Return the prefix for the WildcardName.
protected void	initName(String prefix, String localPart, NamespaceContext nsContext) Initialize the namespace uri (if there is a prefix) based on the passed namespace context
boolean	isFullWild() Return true if WildcardName corresponds to '*'
boolean	isLocalWild() Return true if localWild corresponds to '*' or 'foo:*'
void	setPrincipalNodeType(int principalNodeType) Set the node type that this WildcardName matches.
String	toString() Provide a readable description for debugging.
