Constructor Detail

Reverse

public Reverse()
Method Detail

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)
Determine the item type of the value returned by the function

Overrides:
getItemType in class SystemFunction
Parameters:
th - the type hierarchy cache
Returns:
a value such as Type.STRING, Type.BOOLEAN, Type.NUMBER, Type.NODE, or Type.ITEM (meaning not known at compile time)

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()
Description copied from class: SystemFunction
Determine the special properties of this expression. The general rule is that a system function call is non-creative if its return type is atomic, or if all its arguments are non-creative. This is overridden for the generate-id() function, which is considered creative if its operand is creative (because the result depends on the identity of the operand)

Overrides:
computeSpecialProperties in class SystemFunction
Returns:
the special properties, as a bit-significant integer

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException
Description copied from class: Expression
Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation handles iteration for expressions that return singleton values: for non-singleton expressions, the subclass must provide its own implementation.

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

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException
Description copied from class: Expression
Get the effective boolean value of the expression. This returns false if the value is the empty sequence, a zero-length string, a number equal to zero, or the boolean false. Otherwise it returns true.

Overrides:
effectiveBooleanValue in class Expression
Parameters:
context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
Returns:
the effective boolean value
Throws:
XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
