public class XPathParser
extends java.lang.Object

Tokenizes and parses XPath expressions. This should really be named XPathParserImpl, and may be renamed in the future.

Field Summary
`static java.lang.String` | `CONTINUE_AFTER_FATAL_ERROR`

Constructor Summary
`XPathParser(ErrorListener errorListener, SourceLocator sourceLocator)` The parser constructor.

Method Summary
`ErrorListener` | `getErrorListener()` Return the current error listener.
`void` | `initMatchPattern(Compiler compiler, java.lang.String expression, PrefixResolver namespaceContext)` Given an string, init an XPath object for pattern matches, in order that a parse doesn't have to be done each time the expression is evaluated.
`void` | `initXPath(Compiler compiler, java.lang.String expression, PrefixResolver namespaceContext)` Given an string, init an XPath object for selections, in order that a parse doesn't have to be done each time the expression is evaluated.
`void` | `setErrorHandler(ErrorListener handler)` Allow an application to register an error event handler, where syntax errors will be sent.

    public void initXPath(Compiler compiler,
                          java.lang.String expression,
                          PrefixResolver namespaceContext)
                   throws TransformerException

  Given an string, init an XPath object for selections, in order that a parse doesn't have to be done each time the expression is evaluated.
  Parameters:
    `compiler` - The compiler object.
    `expression` - A string conforming to the XPath grammar.
    `namespaceContext` - An object that is able to resolve prefixes in the XPath to namespaces.
  Throws:
    TransformerException -

### initMatchPattern

    public void initMatchPattern(Compiler compiler,
                                 java.lang.String expression,
                                 PrefixResolver namespaceContext)
                          throws TransformerException

  Given an string, init an XPath object for pattern matches, in order that a parse doesn't have to be done each time the expression is evaluated.
  Parameters:
    `compiler` - The XPath object to be initialized.
    `expression` - A String representing the XPath.
    `namespaceContext` - An object that is able to resolve prefixes in the XPath to namespaces.
  Throws:
    TransformerException -

### setErrorHandler

    public void setErrorHandler(ErrorListener handler)

  Allow an application to register an error event handler, where syntax errors will be sent. If the error listener is not set, syntax errors will be sent to System.err.
  Parameters:
    `handler` - Reference to error listener where syntax errors will be sent.
