public class Trace
extends SystemFunction

This class supports the XPath 2.0 function trace(). The value is traced to the System.err stream, unless a TraceListener is in use, in which case the information is sent to the TraceListener

Method Detail

simplify

public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify the function call. This implementation saves the static namespace context, in case it is needed by the TraceListener.

Overrides:

simplify in class FunctionCall

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(StaticContext env)

preEvaluate: this method suppresses compile-time evaluation by doing nothing

Overrides:

preEvaluate in class FunctionCall

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()

Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-significant. These properties are used for optimizations. In general, if property bit is set, it is true, but if it is unset, the value is unknown.

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class SystemFunction

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Get the static cardinality

Overrides:

computeCardinality in class SystemFunction

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate the function

Specified by:

evaluateItem in interface EvaluableItem

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

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

Returns:

the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Iterate over the results of the function

Specified by:

iterate in interface SequenceIterable

Overrides:

iterate in class Expression

Parameters:

context - supplies the context for evaluation

Returns:

a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
