public abstract class ContextAccessorFunction
extends SystemFunction

A ContextAccessorFunction is a function that is dependent on the dynamic context. In the case of dynamic function calls, the context is bound at the point where the function is created, not at the point where the function is called.

Method Detail

bindContext

public abstract Function bindContext(XPathContext context)
                              throws XPathException

Bind a context item to appear as part of the function's closure. If this method has been called, the supplied context item will be used in preference to the context item at the point where the function is actually called.

Parameters:

context - the context to which the function applies. Must not be null.

Throws:

XPathException

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
