Method Detail

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify the function call. Default method is to simplify each of the supplied arguments and evaluate the function if all are now known.

Overrides:

simplify in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

checkArguments

public void checkArguments(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Static analysis: prevent sorting of the argument

Overrides:

checkArguments in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor

Throws:

XPathException

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                           ItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

Overrides:

optimize in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

isNegatable

public boolean isNegatable(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

Check whether this specific instance of the expression is negatable

Specified by:

isNegatable in interface Negatable

Returns:

true if it is

negate

public Expression negate()

Create an expression that returns the negation of this expression

Specified by:

negate in interface Negatable

Returns:

the negated expression

rewriteEffectiveBooleanValue

public static Expression rewriteEffectiveBooleanValue(Expression exp,
                                                      ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                                      ItemType contextItemType)
                                               throws XPathException

Optimize an expression whose effective boolean value is required

Parameters:

exp - the expression whose EBV is to be evaluated

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - the type of the context item for this expression

Returns:

an expression that returns the EBV of exp, or null if no optimization was possible

Throws:

XPathException - if static errors are found

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate the function

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

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue(XPathContext c)
                              throws XPathException

Evaluate the effective boolean value

Overrides:

effectiveBooleanValue in class Expression

Parameters:

c - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the effective boolean value

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
