Method Detail

nodeSet

public static Value nodeSet(Value frag)

Convert a result tree fragment to a node-set. This is a hangover from XSLT 1.0; it is implemented as a no-op.

objectType

public static String objectType(XPathContext context,
                                Value value)

Return the type of the supplied value: "sequence", "string", "number", "boolean", "external". (EXSLT spec not yet modified to cater for XPath 2.0 data model)
