Method Detail

isGlobal

public boolean isGlobal()
                 throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
Determine whether this variable is global

getVariableName

public java.lang.String getVariableName()
                                 throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
Establish the name of this variable. The string is the absolute form of the name, as returned by Name.getAbsoluteName().

getSlotNumber

public int getSlotNumber()
Determine a slot number for the variable.

getDataType

public int getDataType()
Get the data type, if known statically. This will be a value such as Value.BOOLEAN, Value.STRING. If the data type is not known statically, return Value.ANY.

constantValue

public Value constantValue()
Get the value of the variable, if known statically. If the value is not known statically, return null.

isAssignable

public boolean isAssignable()
Determine whether the variable is assignable using saxon:assign
