Constructor Detail

NonNumeric

public NonNumeric(SequenceIterator base,
                  Expression filter,
                  XPathContext context)

Create a CompiledFilterIterator for the situation where it is known that the filter expression will never evaluate to a number value. For this case we can simply use the effective boolean value of the predicate

Parameters:

base - iterator over the sequence to be filtered

filter - the filter expression

context - the current context (for evaluating the filter expression as a whole). A new context will be created to evaluate the predicate.

Method Detail

matches

protected boolean matches()
                   throws XPathException

Determine whether the context item matches the filter predicate

Overrides:

matches in class FilterIterator

Returns:

true if the context item matches

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs evaluating the match
