Method Detail

checkArguments

public void checkArguments(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException
Description copied from class: SystemFunction
Method called during static type checking

Overrides:
checkArguments in class SystemFunction
Parameters:
visitor - the expression visitor
Throws:
XPathException

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                       throws XPathException
preEvaluate: this method uses the static context to do early evaluation of the function if the argument is known (which is the normal case)

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

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException
Run-time evaluation. This is the only thing in the spec that requires information about in-scope functions to be available at run-time. However, we keep it because it's handy for some other things such as saxon:evaluate().

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
