Method Detail

addAllowedOption

public void addAllowedOption(String name,
                             SequenceType type)

Parameters:

name - the option keyword

type - the required type

addRequiredOption

public void addRequiredOption(String name,
                              SequenceType type)

Register a required option keyword, and the associated type of value, where omitting the value is an error

Parameters:

name - the option keyword

type - the required type

addAllowedOption

public void addAllowedOption(String name,
                             SequenceType type,
                             Sequence defaultValue)

Register a permitted option keyword, and the associated type of value, with a default value

Parameters:

name - the option keyword

type - the required type

defaultValue - the default value if the option is not specified; or null if no default is defined

setAllowedValues

public void setAllowedValues(String name,
                             String errorCode,
                             String... values)

Enumerate the permitted values for an option keyword

Parameters:

name - the option keyword

errorCode - the error to be reported if the supplied value is not one of those permitted

values - the permitted values

processSuppliedOptions

public Map<String,Sequence> processSuppliedOptions(MapItem supplied,
                                                   XPathContext context)
                                            throws XPathException

Process an XPath map containing the supplied values. Options that are recognized are copied into the result map, after validation and expansion of defaults. Unrecognized options are ignored, in accordance with the option parameter conventions

Parameters:

supplied - the supplied options as an XPath map object

context - the dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

the validated options as a Java map

Throws:

XPathException - if any supplied options are invalid

Get a Java map containing the default values of registered options

Returns:

a map containing the default values
