true if the pattern matches the given node

Throws:

JaxenException - if ????

getUnionPatterns

public Pattern[] getUnionPatterns()

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: Pattern

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. Otherwise this method should return null.

Overrides:

getUnionPatterns in class Pattern

Returns:

an array of the patterns which make up this union pattern or null if this pattern is not a union pattern

getMatchType

public short getMatchType()

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: Pattern

Returns the type of node the pattern matches.

Overrides:

getMatchType in class Pattern

Returns:

ANY_NODE unless overridden

getMatchesNodeName

public String getMatchesNodeName()

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: Pattern

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.

Overrides:

getMatchesNodeName in class Pattern

Returns:

the name of the element or attribute this pattern matches or null if this pattern matches any or more than one name

simplify

public Pattern simplify()

Deprecated.

Overrides:

simplify in class Pattern

getText

public String getText()

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: Pattern

Returns a textual representation of this pattern

Specified by:

getText in class Pattern

Returns:

the usual string form of this XSLT pattern

toString

public String toString()

Deprecated.

Overrides:

toString in class Object
