public XdmFunctionItem(Function fi)

Method Detail

getName

public QName getName()

Get the name of the function

Returns:

the function name, as a QName, or null for an anonymous inline function item

getArity

public int getArity()

Get the arity of the function

Returns:

the arity of the function, that is, the number of arguments in the function's signature

isAtomicValue

public boolean isAtomicValue()

Determine whether the item is an atomic value

Overrides:

isAtomicValue in class XdmItem

Returns:

false, the item is not an atomic value, it is a function item

getSystemFunction

public static XdmFunctionItem getSystemFunction(Processor processor,
                                                QName name,
                                                int arity)
                                         throws SaxonApiException

Get a system function. This can be any function defined in XPath 3.1 functions and operators, including functions in the math, map, and array namespaces. It can also be a Saxon extension function, provided a licensed Processor is used.

Returns:

the requested function, or null if there is no such function. Note that some functions (those with particular context dependencies) may be unsuitable for dynamic calling.

Throws:

SaxonApiException - if dynamic function calls are not permitted by this Saxon Configuration

call

public XdmValue call(Processor processor,
                     XdmValue... arguments)
              throws SaxonApiException

Call the function

Parameters:

arguments - the values to be supplied as arguments to the function. The "function conversion rules" will be applied to convert the arguments to the required type when necessary.

processor - the s9api Processor

Returns:

the result of calling the function

Throws:

SaxonApiException
