All Implemented Interfaces:

Query

Direct Known Subclasses:

XQuery

public class QueryTemplate
extends QueryBox
implements Query

A Query that interpolates named parameters inside a template.

Templates are strings with empty XML elements, optionally with a DEFAULT attribute, e.g.:

all results that satisfy <cond1/> or <cond2 def='that'/> <extra/>

Whenever expression() is invoked, the elements in the template are replaced according to the first rule that applies among the following:

• by the value of an equally named parameter, if one exists
• by the value of the DEFAULT attribute, if one exists
• by the empty string

For example, given the previous template and the single parameter cond1="this", expression() returns:

all results that satisfy this or that
