Constructor Detail

UserFunctionParameter

public UserFunctionParameter()
Create a UserFunctionParameter

Method Detail

isGlobal

public final boolean isGlobal()
Indicate whether the binding is local or global. A global binding is one that has a fixed value for the life of a query or transformation; any other binding is local.

Specified by:
isGlobal in interface Binding
Returns:
false (always)

isAssignable

public final boolean isAssignable()
Test whether it is permitted to assign to the variable using the saxon:assign extension element. This will only be for an XSLT global variable where the extra attribute saxon:assignable="yes" is present.

Specified by:
isAssignable in interface Binding
Returns:
false (always)

setSlotNumber

public void setSlotNumber(int slot)
Set the slot number to be used by this parameter

Parameters:
slot - the slot number, that is, the position of the parameter value within the local stack frame

getLocalSlotNumber

public int getLocalSlotNumber()
If this is a local variable held on the local stack frame, return the corresponding slot number. In other cases, return -1.

Specified by:
getLocalSlotNumber in interface Binding
Returns:
the slot number, indicating the position of the parameter on the local stack frame

setRequiredType

public void setRequiredType(SequenceType type)
Set the required type of this function parameter

Parameters:
type - the declared type of the parameter

getRequiredType

public SequenceType getRequiredType()
Get the required type of this function parameter

Specified by:
getRequiredType in interface Binding
Returns:
the declared type of the parameter

setVariableQName

public void setVariableQName(StructuredQName name)
Set the name of this parameter

Parameters:
name - the name of the parameter

getVariableQName

public StructuredQName getVariableQName()
Get the name of this parameter

Specified by:
getVariableQName in interface Binding
Returns:
the name of this parameter

setReferenceCount

public void setReferenceCount(int count)
Set the (nominal) number of references within the function body to this parameter, where a reference inside a loop is counted as multiple references

Parameters:
count - the nominal number of references

getReferenceCount

public int getReferenceCount()
Get the (nominal) number of references within the function body to this parameter, where a reference inside a loop is counted as multiple references

Returns:
the nominal number of references

setIndexedVariable

public void setIndexedVariable(boolean indexed)
Indicate that this parameter requires (or does not require) support for indexing

Parameters:
indexed - true if support for indexing is required. This will be set if the parameter is used in a filter expression such as $param[@a = 17]

isIndexedVariable

public boolean isIndexedVariable()
Ask whether this parameter requires support for indexing

Returns:
true if support for indexing is required. This will be set if the parameter is used in a filter expression such as $param[@a = 17]

evaluateVariable

public ValueRepresentation evaluateVariable(XPathContext context)
                                     throws XPathException
Evaluate this function parameter

Specified by:
evaluateVariable in interface Binding
Parameters:
context - the XPath dynamic context
Returns:
the value of the parameter
Throws:
XPathException - if an error occurs
