Method Detail

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ItemType contextItemType)
                     throws XPathException
Description copied from class: FunctionCall
Type-check the expression. This also calls preEvaluate() to evaluate the function if all the arguments are constant; functions that do not require this behavior can override the preEvaluate method.

Overrides:
typeCheck in class FunctionCall
Parameters:
visitor - an expression visitor
contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE
Returns:
the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations
Throws:
XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException
Evaluate the function

Specified by:
evaluateItem in interface EvaluableItem
Overrides:
evaluateItem in class Expression
Parameters:
context - 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

getStaticMap

public IntToIntMap getStaticMap()
Get the translation map built at compile time if there is one


translate

public static CharSequence translate(StringValue sv0,
                                     StringValue sv1,
                                     StringValue sv2)
Perform the translate function


translateUsingMap

public static CharSequence translateUsingMap(CharSequence in,
                                             IntToIntMap map)
Implement the translate() function using an index built at compile time

Parameters:
in - the string to be translated
map - index built at compile time, mapping input characters to output characters. The map returns -1 for a character that is to be deleted from the input string, Integer.MAX_VALUE for a character that is to remain intact
Returns:
the translated character string
