Class VariableStack

Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable

public class VariableStack
extends java.lang.Object
implements Cloneable

Defines a class to keep track of a stack for template arguments and variables.

This has been changed from the previous incarnations of this class to be fairly low level.

Constructor Details

VariableStack

public VariableStack()
Constructor for a variable stack.

Method Details

clearLocalSlots

public void clearLocalSlots(int start,
                            int len)
Use this to clear the variables in a section of the stack. This is used to clear the parameter section of the stack, so that default param values can tell if they've already been set. It is important to note that this function has a 1K limitation.

Parameters:
start - The start position, relative to the current local stack frame.
len - The number of slots to be cleared.


clone

public Object clone()
            throws CloneNotSupportedException
Returns a clone of this variable stack.

Returns:
a clone of this variable stack.


elementAt

public XObject elementAt(int i)
Get the element at the given index, regardless of stackframe.

Parameters:
i - index from zero.

Returns:
The item at the given index.

            throws TransformerException
Get a global variable or parameter from the global stack frame.

Parameters:
xctxt - The XPath context, which must be passed in order to lazy evaluate variables.
index - Global variable index relative to the global stack frame bottom.

Returns:
The value of the variable.

Throws:
TransformerException -

            throws TransformerException
Get a global variable or parameter from the global stack frame.

Parameters:
xctxt - The XPath context, which must be passed in order to lazy evaluate variables.
index - Global variable index relative to the global stack frame bottom.

Returns:
The value of the variable.

Throws:
TransformerException -

public XObject getLocalVariable(int index,
                                int frame)
            throws TransformerException
Get a local variable or parameter in the current stack frame.

Parameters:
index - Local variable index relative to the given frame bottom. NEEDSDOC @param frame

Returns:
The value of the variable.

Throws:
TransformerException -
