Class XPathFunctionLibrary

java.lang.Object
net.sf.saxon.xpath.XPathFunctionLibrary
All Implemented Interfaces:
FunctionLibrary

public class XPathFunctionLibrary extends Object implements FunctionLibrary
The XPathFunctionLibrary is a FunctionLibrary that supports binding of XPath function calls to instances of the JAXP XPathFunction interface returned by an XPathFunctionResolver.
  • Constructor Details Link icon

    • XPathFunctionLibrary Link icon

      public XPathFunctionLibrary()
      Construct a XPathFunctionLibrary
  • Method Details Link icon

    • setXPathFunctionResolver Link icon

      public void setXPathFunctionResolver(XPathFunctionResolver resolver)
      Set the resolver
      Parameters:
      resolver - The XPathFunctionResolver wrapped by this FunctionLibrary
    • getXPathFunctionResolver Link icon

      public XPathFunctionResolver getXPathFunctionResolver()
      Get the resolver
      Returns:
      the XPathFunctionResolver wrapped by this FunctionLibrary
    • bind Link icon

      public Expression bind(SymbolicName.F functionName, Expression[] staticArgs, Map<StructuredQName,Integer> keywords, StaticContext env, List<String> reasons)
      Bind a function, given the URI and local parts of the function name, and the list of expressions supplied as arguments. This method is called at compile time.
      Specified by:
      bind in interface FunctionLibrary
      Parameters:
      functionName - The name of the function
      staticArgs - The expressions supplied statically in the function call. The intention is that the static type of the arguments (obtainable via getItemType() and getCardinality() may be used as part of the binding algorithm.
      keywords - May be null if no keywords are used in the function call. Otherwise, a map identifying the keywords appearing in the function call, and the 0-based position at which they appeared.
      env - The static context
      reasons - If no matching function is found by the function library, it may add a diagnostic explanation to this list explaining why none of the available functions could be used.
      Returns:
      An object representing the extension function to be called, if one is found; null if no extension function was found matching the required name, arity, or signature.
    • getFunctionItem Link icon

      public FunctionItem getFunctionItem(SymbolicName.F symbolicName, StaticContext staticContext) throws XPathException
      Test whether a function with a given name and arity is available; if so, return a function item that can be dynamically called.

      This supports the function-lookup() function in XPath 3.0.

      Specified by:
      getFunctionItem in interface FunctionLibrary
      Parameters:
      symbolicName - the qualified name of the function being called
      staticContext - the static context to be used by the function, in the event that it is a system function with dependencies on the static context
      Returns:
      if a function of this name and arity is available for calling, then a corresponding function item; or null if the function does not exist
      Throws:
      XPathException - in the event of certain errors, for example attempting to get a function that is private
    • isAvailable Link icon

      public boolean isAvailable(SymbolicName.F functionName, int languageLevel)
      Test whether a function with a given name and arity is available

      This supports the function-available() function in XSLT.

      Specified by:
      isAvailable in interface FunctionLibrary
      Parameters:
      functionName - the qualified name of the function being called
      languageLevel - the XPath language level (times 10, e.g. 31 for XPath 3.1)
      Returns:
      true if a function of this name and arity is available for calling
    • copy Link icon

      public FunctionLibrary copy()
      This method creates a copy of a FunctionLibrary: if the original FunctionLibrary allows new functions to be added, then additions to this copy will not affect the original, or vice versa.
      Specified by:
      copy in interface FunctionLibrary
      Returns:
      a copy of this function library. This must be an instance of the original class.
