Package net.sf.saxon.functions

Class FoldingFunction

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.functions.AbstractFunction

net.sf.saxon.functions.SystemFunction

net.sf.saxon.functions.FoldingFunction

All Implemented Interfaces:

Callable, FunctionItem, GroundedValue, Item, Sequence

Direct Known Subclasses:

ArrayFunctionSet.ArrayFromSequence, Average, FoldLeftFn, StringJoin, Sum

public abstract class FoldingFunction
extends SystemFunction

Implementation of aggregate functions such as sum() and avg() that supply a fold() function. Such functions are automatically streamable.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Sequence	call(XPathContext context, Sequence[] arguments)	Evaluate the expression
abstract Fold	getFold(XPathContext context, Sequence... additionalArguments)	Create the Fold object which actually performs the evaluation.
String	getStreamerName()	Get a name that identifies the class that can be used to evaluate this function in streaming mode, that is, supplying one item or event at a time as it is delivered by the parser.

Method Details

getFold

public abstract Fold getFold(XPathContext context,
 Sequence... additionalArguments)
                      throws XPathException

Create the Fold object which actually performs the evaluation. Must be implemented in every subclass.

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

additionalArguments - the values of all arguments other than the first.

Returns:

the Fold object used to compute the function

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

call

public Sequence call(XPathContext context,
 Sequence[] arguments)
              throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as Sequences

Returns:

the result of the evaluation, in the form of a Sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression

getStreamerName

public String getStreamerName()

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Get a name that identifies the class that can be used to evaluate this function in streaming mode, that is, supplying one item or event at a time as it is delivered by the parser. Special streaming support is generally available in Saxon-EE for all system functions that take a sequence as their argument.

Overrides:

getStreamerName in class SystemFunction

Returns:

a name that identifies a class that supports streamed evaluation of this system function, or null if no such class is available. The mapping of names to classes is defined in the Saxon-EE class StreamerMap. In non-streaming Saxon editions (HE and PE) the method always returns null.
