Method Detail

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

preEvaluate: this method suppresses compile-time evaluation by doing nothing

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

isVacuousExpression

public boolean isVacuousExpression()

Determine whether this is a vacuous expression as defined in the XQuery update specification

Overrides:

isVacuousExpression in class Expression

Returns:

true if this expression is vacuous

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluation of the expression always throws an error

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

evaluatePendingUpdates

public void evaluatePendingUpdates(XPathContext context,
                                   PendingUpdateList pul)
                            throws XPathException

Evaluate an updating expression, adding the results to a Pending Update List. The default implementation of this method, which is used for non-updating expressions, throws an UnsupportedOperationException

Overrides:

evaluatePendingUpdates in class Expression

Parameters:

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

pul - the pending update list to which the results should be written

Throws:

XPathException
