Method Details

getInstance

public static XPathEngine getInstance()

Return the XPathEngine singleton.

create

public Node create(Field xmlField,
 Node element,
 CoreAbstractSession session)
            throws XMLMarshalException

Create the node path specified by xpathString under element. This method also supports creating attributes and indexed elements using the appropriate XPath syntax ('@' and '[ ]' respectively).

Parameters:

xmlField - XMLField containing xpath expression representing the node path to create

element - Root element under which to create path

Returns:

The last XMLNode in the path

Throws:

XMLMarshalException - Thrown if passed an invalid XPath string

create

public Node create(Field xmlField,
 Node element,
 Object value,
 CoreAbstractSession session)

create

public Node create(Field xmlField,
 Node element,
 Object value,
 Field lastUpdated,
 DocumentPreservationPolicy docPresPolicy,
 CoreAbstractSession session)
            throws XMLMarshalException

Create the node path specified by xpathString under element and initialize the leaf node with value. This method also supports creating attributes and integer-indexed elements using the appropriate XPath syntax ('@' and '[ ]' respectively).

Parameters:

xmlField - XMLField containing xpath expression representing the node path to create

element - Root element under which to create path

value - Initial value for the leaf node (should not be a list)

Returns:

The last XMLNode in the path

Throws:

XMLMarshalException - Thrown if passed an invalid XPath string

create

public void create(List<Field> xmlFields,
 Node contextNode,
 List<XMLEntry> values,
 Field lastUpdatedField,
 DocumentPreservationPolicy docPresPolicy,
 CoreAbstractSession session)

createUnownedElement

public Element createUnownedElement(Node parent,
 Field xmlField)

remove

public NodeList remove(Field xmlField,
 Node element)
                throws XMLMarshalException

Remove a node. If xpathString points to an indexed element, the element will not be removed, but will instead be reinitialzed (to maintain the index of the collection).

Parameters:

xmlField - Field containing XPath query string

element - Root element at which to begin search

Returns:

NodeList containing the nodes that were removed.

Throws:

XMLMarshalException - Thrown if passed an invalid XPath string

remove

public NodeList remove(Field xmlField,
 Node element,
 boolean forceRemove)
                throws XMLMarshalException

Remove a node.

Parameters:

xmlField - Field containing XPath query string

element - Root element at which to begin search

forceRemove - If true, then indexed elements will be truly deleted, otherwise they will be reinitialized

Returns:

NodeList containing the nodes that were removed.

Throws:

XMLMarshalException - Thrown if passed an invalid XPath string

replaceValue

public NodeList replaceValue(Field xmlField,
 Node parent,
 Object value,
 CoreAbstractSession session)
                      throws XMLMarshalException

Replace the value of the nodes matching xpathString with value. This method handles elements, indexed elements, and attributes.

Parameters:

xmlField - Field containing XPath query string

parent - Parent element

value - New value for the node

Returns:

NodeList containing the nodes that were replaced.

Throws:

XMLMarshalException

replaceCollection

public List<XMLEntry> replaceCollection(List<Field> xmlFields,
 List<XMLEntry> values,
 Node contextNode,
 DocumentPreservationPolicy docPresPolicy,
 Field lastUpdatedField,
 CoreAbstractSession session)

replaceCollection

public NodeList replaceCollection(Field xmlField,
 Node parent,
 Collection values,
 CoreAbstractSession session)
                           throws XMLMarshalException

Throws:

XMLMarshalException
