Interface EnvironmentVariableResolver

All Known Implementing Classes:
StandardEnvironmentVariableResolver
public interface EnvironmentVariableResolver
This interface defines a Saxon plug-in used to resolve calls on the XPath 3.0 functions available-environment-variables() and environment-variable(). The standard implementation reads environment variables using the Java method System.getenv(); this can be overridden by a user-provided implementation that resolves environment variables any way it likes.
