Method Detail

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
preEvaluate: this method suppresses compile-time evaluation by doing nothing

Overrides:
preEvaluate in class FunctionCall
Parameters:
visitor - an expression visitor
Returns:
the result of the early evaluation, or the original expression, or potentially a simplified expression

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException
Evaluation of the expression always throws an error

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
