Constructor Detail

Error

public Error()
Method Detail

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()
Description copied from class: SystemFunction
Determine the special properties of this expression. The general rule is that a system function call is non-creative if its return type is atomic, or if all its arguments are non-creative. This is overridden for the generate-id() function, which is considered creative if its operand is creative (because the result depends on the identity of the operand)

Overrides:
computeSpecialProperties in class SystemFunction
Returns:
the special properties, as a bit-significant integer

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

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 - if evaluation fails

error

public <EO extends Item> Item error(XPathContext context,
                                    QNameValue errorCode,
                                    StringValue desc,
                                    SequenceIterator<EO> errObject)
           throws XPathException
Throws:
XPathException

call

public SequenceIterator<? extends Item> call(SequenceIterator<? extends Item>[] arguments,
                                             XPathContext context)
                                      throws XPathException
Description copied from interface: CallableExpression
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
