Package com.novell.xml.xpath

Interface Summary

ContextListMark	Bogus interface to provide a common return and parameter type for ContextNodeList.getMark()/returnToMark()
ContextNodeList	An interface that represents a context node list used for evaluating an expression
Expression	Interface that describes the basic functionality of XPath expressions
ExpressionValue	Interface allowing discovery of and access to expression values.
FunctionCall.DoubleCaster	An interface for casting an XPath number value to a java Number type (especially a java primitive number type)
FunctionLibrary	An interface for binding providing a function library for evaluating XPath expressions
NamespaceContext	Interface for namepace declarations that are in scope for an expression
NodeTest	An interface representing NodeTest functionality in XPath expressions.
VariableBindings	An interface for binding XPath variables to values and for retrieving the variable values.
WhitespaceStripper	An interface for determining if a text node should be stripped This isn't part of XPath per se, but is a reasonable way to allow XSLT to implement whitespace stripping without having to physically strip nodes an possible create a new source tree.
XPathResetCache	Interface so that expressions, etc. which cache results can be told to reset the cache (e.g., if an expression value will not change given the same input document, the expression object may cache the value after the first time Expression.evaluate() is called.
XPathResetRegistrar	An interface for implementers of XPathResetCache to call to register themselves.
