Method Detail

open

public void open(Terminator terminator)
          throws XPathException

Description copied from class: ItemFeed

Start evaluating the expression. The default implementation does nothing.

Overrides:

open in class ItemFeed

Parameters:

terminator - used to achieve early exit

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

append

public void append(Item item)
            throws XPathException

Description copied from class: ItemFeed

Supply one item towards the streamed input of the expression

Specified by:

append in interface Receiver

Specified by:

append in class ItemFeed

Parameters:

item - the item to be supplied

Throws:

XPathException - if the operation fails

handlesAppend

public boolean handlesAppend()

Description copied from interface: Receiver

Ask whether this Receiver can handle arbitrary items in its Receiver.append(net.sf.saxon.om.Item, net.sf.saxon.s9api.Location, int) and Receiver.append(Item, Location, int) methods. If it cannot, then calling these methods will raise an exception (typically but not necessarily an UnsupportedOperationException). The default implementation of this method returns false.

Returns:

true if the Receiver is able to handle items supplied to its Receiver.append(net.sf.saxon.om.Item, net.sf.saxon.s9api.Location, int) and Receiver.append(Item, Location, int) methods. A receiver that returns true may still reject some kinds of item, for example it may reject function items.
