public class FunctionLookup
extends SystemFunction
implements CallableExpression

This class supports the function-lookup() function in XPath 3.0. It takes as arguments a function name (QName) and arity, and returns a function item representing that function if found, or an empty sequence if not found.

Method Detail

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                       throws XPathException
Description copied from class: FunctionCall
Pre-evaluate a function at compile time. Functions that do not allow pre-evaluation, or that need access to context information, can override this method.

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
Throws:
XPathException - if evaluation fails

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException
Run-time evaluation. This is the only thing in the spec that requires information about in-scope functions to be available at run-time. However, we keep it because it's handy for some other things such as saxon:evaluate().

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

lookup

public FunctionItem lookup(StructuredQName name,
                           int arity,
                           XPathContext context)
                    throws XPathException
Throws:
XPathException

call

public SequenceIterator<FunctionItem> call(SequenceIterator[] arguments,
                                           XPathContext context)
                                    throws XPathException
Evaluate the expression

Specified by:
call in interface CallableExpression
Parameters:
arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as SequenceIterators
context - the dynamic evaluation context
Returns:
the result of the evaluation, in the form of a SequenceIterator
Throws:
XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression
