Class XmlQueryExpression

java.lang.Object
  com.sleepycat.dbxml.XmlQueryExpression

public class XmlQueryExpression
extends Object

An XmlQueryExpression represents a parsed XQuery expression, and is created by a call to XmlManager.prepare(java.lang.String, com.sleepycat.dbxml.XmlQueryContext). Parsed XQuery expressions are useful because they allow the cost of query parsing and optimization to be amortized over many evaluations.

The copy constructor is provided for this class. The class is implemented using a handle-body idiom. When a handle is copied both handles maintain a reference to the same body.

There are two basic forms of the execute method: one that takes an XmlValue object, and another that does not. For methods that do not take an XmlValue, the XQuery must restrict the scope of the query using either the collection() or the doc() XQuery navigation functions, or an exception is thrown.

For those forms of the execute method that take an XmlValue, the query is applied against that object.

This object is free-threaded, and can be safely shared among threads, once created. Each thread should use an unshared XmlQueryContext object for calls to execute(com.sleepycat.dbxml.XmlQueryContext).
