Method Detail

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(StaticContext env)
                       throws XPathException

Pre-evaluate a function at compile time. Functions that do not allow pre-evaluation, or that need access to context information, can override this method.

Overrides:

preEvaluate in class FunctionCall

Throws:

XPathException

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext c)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate

Specified by:

evaluateItem in interface EvaluableItem

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

c - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

unicodeToString

public static CharSequence unicodeToString(SequenceIterator chars,
                                           XPathContext context)
                                    throws XPathException

Return the Unicode string corresponding to a given sequence of Unicode code values

Parameters:

chars - iterator delivering the characters as integer values

context - the evaluation context

Throws:

XPathException - if any of the integers is not the codepoint of a valid XML character
