Field Summary
static short ANY_NODE
Matches any node
static double DEFAULT_PRIORITY
According to the spec we should return 0.5 if we cannot determine the priority
static short NONE
Matches no nodes
static short NUMBER_OF_TYPES
Count of the number of node types
Method Summary
String getMatchesNodeName()
For patterns which only match an ATTRIBUTE_NODE or an ELEMENT_NODE then this pattern may return the name of the element or attribute it matches.
short getMatchType()
DOCUMENT ME!
double getPriority()
Returns the default resolution policy of the pattern according to the XSLT conflict resolution spec .
Pattern[] getUnionPatterns()
If this pattern is a union pattern then this method should return an array of patterns which describe the union pattern, which should contain more than one pattern.

Method Detail
getMatchesNodeName
public String getMatchesNodeName ( )
For patterns which only match an ATTRIBUTE_NODE or an ELEMENT_NODE then this pattern may return the name of the element or attribute it matches. This allows a more efficient rule matching algorithm to be performed, rather than a brute force approach of evaluating every pattern for a given Node.
