Method Detail

### clone

    public java.lang.Object clone()
                           throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

  Get a cloned PrdicatedNodeTest.
  Returns:
    A new PredicatedNodeTest that can be used without mutating this one.
  Throws:
    java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException -

### getPredicateCount

    public int getPredicateCount()

  Get the number of predicates that this walker has.
  Returns:
    the number of predicates that this walker has.

### setPredicateCount

    public void setPredicateCount(int count)

  Set the number of predicates that this walker has. This does more that one would think, as it creates a new predicate array of the size of the count argument, and copies count predicates into the new one from the old, and then reassigns the predicates value. All this to keep from having to have a predicate count value.
  Parameters:
    `count` - The number of predicates, which must be equal or less than the existing count.

### getPredicate

    public Expression getPredicate(int index)

  Get a predicate expression at the given index.
  Parameters:
    `index` - Index of the predicate.
  Returns:
    A predicate expression.

### getProximityPosition

    public int getProximityPosition()

  Get the current sub-context position.
  Returns:
    The node position of this walker in the sub-context node list.

### getProximityPosition

    public int getProximityPosition(XPathContext xctxt)

  Get the current sub-context position.
  Specified by:
    getProximityPosition in interface SubContextList
  Parameters:
    `xctxt` - The XPath runtime context.
  Returns:
    The node position of this walker in the sub-context node list.

### getLastPos

    public abstract int getLastPos(XPathContext xctxt)

  Get the index of the last node that can be itterated to.
  Specified by:
    getLastPos in interface SubContextList
  Parameters:
    `xctxt` - XPath runtime context.
  Returns:
    the index of the last node that can be itterated to.

### resetProximityPositions

    public void resetProximityPositions()

  Reset the proximity positions counts.

### initProximityPosition

    public void initProximityPosition(int i)
                               throws TransformerException

  Init the proximity position to zero for a forward axes.
  Parameters:
    `i` - The index into the m_proximityPositions array.
  Throws:
    TransformerException -

### isReverseAxes

    public boolean isReverseAxes()

  Tells if this is a reverse axes.
  Returns:
    false, unless a derived class overrides.

### getPredicateIndex

    public int getPredicateIndex()

  Get which predicate is executing.
  Returns:
    The current predicate index, or -1 if no predicate is executing.

### fixupVariables

    public void fixupVariables(java.util.Vector vars,
                               int globalsSize)

  This function is used to fixup variables from QNames to stack frame indexes at stylesheet build time.
  Parameters:
    `vars` - List of QNames that correspond to variables. This list should be searched backwards for the first qualified name that corresponds to the variable reference qname. The position of the QName in the vector from the start of the vector will be its position in the stack frame (but variables above the globalsTop value will need to be offset to the current stack frame).
  Overrides:
    fixupVariables in class NodeTest

### acceptNode

    public short acceptNode(int n)

  Test whether a specified node is visible in the logical view of a TreeWalker or NodeIterator. This function will be called by the implementation of TreeWalker and NodeIterator; it is not intended to be called directly from user code.
  Parameters:
    `n` - The node to check to see if it passes the filter or not.
  Returns:
    a constant to determine whether the node is accepted, rejected, or skipped, as defined above .

### getLocPathIterator

    public LocPathIterator getLocPathIterator()

  Get the owning location path iterator.
  Returns:
    the owning location path iterator, which should not be null.

### setLocPathIterator

    public void setLocPathIterator(LocPathIterator li)

  Set the location path iterator owner for this walker. Besides initialization, this function is called during cloning operations.
  Parameters:
    `li` - non-null reference to the owning location path iterator.

### 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.
  Overrides:
    canTraverseOutsideSubtree in class Expression

### callPredicateVisitors

    public void callPredicateVisitors(XPathVisitor visitor)

  This will traverse the heararchy, calling the visitor for each member. If the called visitor method returns false, the subtree should not be called.
  Parameters:
    `visitor` - The visitor whose appropriate method will be called.

### deepEquals

    public boolean deepEquals(Expression expr)

  Overrides:
    deepEquals in class NodeTest
  See Also:
    `Expression.deepEquals(Expression)`
