public interface Container

A Container is something other than an expression that can act as the container of an expression. It is typically an object such as a function, a global variable, or in XSLT a template, or an attribute set. When free-standing XPath expressions are compiled, the static context for the expression acts as its container.

- Method Detail
  - getExecutable
```
Executable getExecutable()
```
    Get the Executable (representing a complete stylesheet or query) of which this Container forms part
    
    Returns:
    
    the executable
  - getLocationProvider
```
LocationProvider getLocationProvider()
```
    Get the LocationProvider allowing location identifiers to be resolved.
    
    Returns:
    
    the location provider
  - getHostLanguage
```
int getHostLanguage()
```
    Get the host language (XSLT, XQuery, XPath) used to implement the code in this container
    
    Returns:
    
    typically Configuration.XSLT or Configuration.XQUERY
  - replaceSubExpression
```
boolean replaceSubExpression(Expression original,
                             Expression replacement)
```
    Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression
    
    Parameters:
    
    original - the original subexpression
    
    replacement - the replacement subexpression
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the original subexpression was found
