Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from class: Function

Get the name of the function. This method must be implemented in all subclasses.

Specified by:

getName in class Function

Returns:

the name of the function, as used in XSL expressions, but excluding its namespace prefix

getDataType

public int getDataType()

Determine the data type of the expression

Specified by:

getDataType in class Expression

Returns:

Value.NODESET

isContextDocumentNodeSet

public boolean isContextDocumentNodeSet()

Determine, in the case of an expression whose data type is Value.NODESET, whether all the nodes in the node-set are guaranteed to come from the same document as the context node. Used for optimization.

Overrides:

isContextDocumentNodeSet in class Expression

simplify

public Expression simplify()
                    throws XPathException

Simplify and validate

Overrides:

simplify in class Expression

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException

evaluateAsNodeSet

public NodeSetValue evaluateAsNodeSet(Context context)
                               throws XPathException

Evaluate in a context where a node-set is required

Overrides:

evaluateAsNodeSet in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the value of the expression, evaluated in the current context. Note that the result is not necessarily in document order; to get it into document order, call sort() on the result.

Throws:

XPathException - when the expression does not return a nodeset.

evaluate

public Value evaluate(Context context)
               throws XPathException

Evaluate in a general context

Specified by:

evaluate in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the value of the expression, evaluated in the current context

Throws:

XPathException

getDependencies

public int getDependencies()

Determine which aspects of the context the expression depends on. The result is a bitwise-or'ed value composed from constants such as Context.VARIABLES and Context.CURRENT_NODE

Specified by:

getDependencies in class Expression

reduce

public Expression reduce(int dependencies,
                         Context context)
                  throws XPathException

Remove specified dependencies.

Specified by:

reduce in class Expression

Parameters:

dependencies - The dependencies to be removed, e.g. Context.VARIABLES

context - The context to be used for the partial evaluation

Returns:

a new expression (or Value) that does not have any of the specified dependencies

Throws:

XPathException
