All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, SourceLocator, EvaluableItem, SequenceIterable, InstructionInfoProvider

public class CurrentDateTime
extends SystemFunction

This class implements the XPath 2.0 functions current-date(), current-time(), and current-dateTime(), as well as the function implicit-timezone(). The value that is required is inferred from the type of result required.

Method Detail

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

preEvaluate: this method suppresses compile-time evaluation by doing nothing (because the value of the expression depends on the runtime context)

Overrides:

preEvaluate in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the result of the early evaluation, or the original expression, or potentially a simplified expression

getIntrinsicDependencies

public int getIntrinsicDependencies()

Determine the dependencies

Overrides:

getIntrinsicDependencies in class Expression

Returns:

a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate in a general context

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
