Class MapFunctionSet.MapMerge

All Implemented Interfaces:
Callable, FunctionItem, GroundedValue, Item, Sequence
Enclosing class:
MapFunctionSet

public static class MapFunctionSet.MapMerge extends SystemFunction
Implementation of the function map:merge() => Map From 9.8, map:merge is also used to implement map constructors in XPath and the xsl:map instruction in XSLT. For this purpose it accepts an additional option to define the error code to be used to signal duplicates.

    • makeOptimizedFunctionCall

      public Expression makeOptimizedFunctionCall(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo, Expression... arguments) throws XPathException
      Allow the function to create an optimized call based on the values of the actual arguments
      Overrides:
      makeOptimizedFunctionCall in class SystemFunction
      Parameters:
      visitor - the expression visitor
      contextInfo - information about the context item
      arguments - the supplied arguments to the function call. Note: modifying the contents of this array should not be attempted, it is likely to have no effect.
      Returns:
      either a function call on this function, or an expression that delivers the same result, or null indicating that no optimization has taken place
      Throws:
      XPathException - if an error is detected
    • getResultItemType

      public ItemType getResultItemType(Expression[] args)
      Get the return type, given knowledge of the actual arguments
      Overrides:
      getResultItemType in class SystemFunction
      Parameters:
      args - the actual arguments supplied
      Returns:
      the best available item type that the function will return
    • call

      public MapItem call(XPathContext context, Sequence[] arguments) throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: Callable
      Call the Callable.
      Parameters:
      context - the dynamic evaluation context
      arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as Sequences.

      Generally it is advisable, if calling iterate() to process a supplied sequence, to call it only once; if the value is required more than once, it should first be converted to a GroundedValue by calling the utility method SequenceTool.toGroundedValue().

      If the expected value is a single item, the item should be obtained by calling Sequence.head(): it cannot be assumed that the item will be passed as an instance of Item or AtomicValue.

      It is the caller's responsibility to perform any type conversions required to convert arguments to the type expected by the callee. An exception is where this Callable is explicitly an argument-converting wrapper around the original Callable.

      Returns:
      the result of the evaluation, in the form of a Sequence. It is the responsibility of the callee to ensure that the type of result conforms to the expected result type.
      Throws:
      XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression
    • mergeMaps

      public static MapItem mergeMaps(SequenceIterator iter, XPathContext context, String duplicates, String duplicatesErrorCode, FunctionItem onDuplicates) throws XPathException
      Merge a sequence of maps into a single map
      Parameters:
      iter - iterator over the input maps
      context - The XPath dynamic context
      duplicates - action to be taken when duplicate keys are encountered
      duplicatesErrorCode - if duplicates are not allowed, the error code to be used
      onDuplicates - callback to be used when duplicates = "use-callback"
      Returns:
      the merged map
      Throws:
      XPathException - if any error occurs, including detection of disallowed duplicates
    • 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.
    • exportAdditionalArguments

      public void exportAdditionalArguments(SystemFunctionCall call, ExpressionPresenter out) throws XPathException
      Export any implicit arguments held in optimized form within the SystemFunction call
      Overrides:
      exportAdditionalArguments in class SystemFunction
      Parameters:
      call - the system function call (on this function)
      out - the export destination
      Throws:
      XPathException - if a failure occurs (such as an I/O error)
