Method Detail

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException
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

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
