public class UserFunction
extends Procedure

This object represents the compiled form of a user-written function (the source can be either an XSLT stylesheet function or an XQuery function).

It is assumed that type-checking, of both the arguments and the results, has been handled at compile time. That is, the expression supplied as the body of the function must be wrapped in code to check or convert the result to the required type, and calls on the function must be wrapped at compile time to check or convert the supplied arguments.

gatherDirectContributingCallees

public void gatherDirectContributingCallees(Set result)

Gather the direct contributing callees of this function. A callee is a function that this one calls. A contributing callee is a function whose output is added directly to the output of this function without further processing (other than by attaching it to a parent element or document node). A direct contributing callee is a function that is called directly, rather than indirectly.

Parameters:

result - the list into which the callees are gathered.

call

public ValueRepresentation call(ValueRepresentation[] actualArgs,
                                XPathContextMajor context)
                         throws XPathException

Call this function to return a value.

Parameters:

actualArgs - the arguments supplied to the function. These must have the correct types required by the function signature (it is the caller's responsibility to check this). It is acceptable to supply a Closure to represent a value whose evaluation will be delayed until it is needed. The array must be the correct size to match the number of arguments: again, it is the caller's responsibility to check this.

context - This provides the run-time context for evaluating the function. It is the caller's responsibility to allocate a "clean" context for the function to use; the context that is provided will be overwritten by the function.

Returns:

a Value representing the result of the function.

Throws:

XPathException

process

public void process(ValueRepresentation[] actualArgs,
                    XPathContextMajor context)
             throws XPathException

Call this function in "push" mode, writing the results to the current output destination.

Parameters:

actualArgs - the arguments supplied to the function. These must have the correct types required by the function signature (it is the caller's responsibility to check this). It is acceptable to supply a Closure to represent a value whose evaluation will be delayed until it is needed. The array must be the correct size to match the number of arguments: again, it is the caller's responsibility to check this.

context - This provides the run-time context for evaluating the function. It is the caller's responsibility to allocate a "clean" context for the function to use; the context that is provided will be overwritten by the function.

Throws:

XPathException

iterateEvents

public EventIterator iterateEvents(ValueRepresentation[] actualArgs,
                                   XPathContextMajor context)
                            throws XPathException

Call this function in "pull" mode, returning the results as a sequence of PullEvents.

Parameters:

actualArgs - the arguments supplied to the function. These must have the correct types required by the function signature (it is the caller's responsibility to check this). It is acceptable to supply a Closure to represent a value whose evaluation will be delayed until it is needed. The array must be the correct size to match the number of arguments: again, it is the caller's responsibility to check this.

context - This provides the run-time context for evaluating the function. It is the caller's responsibility to allocate a "clean" context for the function to use; the context that is provided will be overwritten by the function.

Returns:

an iterator over the results of the function call

Throws:

XPathException

call

public ValueRepresentation call(ValueRepresentation[] actualArgs,
                                Controller controller)
                         throws XPathException

Call this function. This method allows an XQuery function to be called directly from a Java application. It creates the environment needed to achieve this

Parameters:

actualArgs - the arguments supplied to the function. These must have the correct types required by the function signature (it is the caller's responsibility to check this). It is acceptable to supply a Closure to represent a value whose evaluation will be delayed until it is needed. The array must be the correct size to match the number of arguments: again, it is the caller's responsibility to check this.

controller - This provides the run-time context for evaluating the function. A Controller may be obtained by calling XQueryExpression.newController(). This may be used for a series of calls on functions defined in the same module as the XQueryExpression.

Returns:

a Value representing the result of the function.

Throws:

XPathException

callUpdating

public void callUpdating(ValueRepresentation[] actualArgs,
                         XPathContextMajor context,
                         PendingUpdateList pul)
                  throws XPathException

Call an updating function.

Parameters:

actualArgs - the arguments supplied to the function. These must have the correct types required by the function signature (it is the caller's responsibility to check this). It is acceptable to supply a Closure to represent a value whose evaluation will be delayed until it is needed. The array must be the correct size to match the number of arguments: again, it is the caller's responsibility to check this.

context - the dynamic evaluation context

pul - the pending updates list, to which the function's update actions are to be added.

Throws:

XPathException

getConstructType

public int getConstructType()

Get the type of construct. This will either be the fingerprint of a standard XSLT instruction name (values in StandardNames: all less than 1024) or it will be a constant in class Location.

Returns:

an integer identifying the kind of construct
