Method Detail

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify and validate.

Overrides:

simplify in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

call

public Sequence call(XPathContext context,
            Sequence[] arguments)
              throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as Sequences

Returns:

the result of the evaluation, in the form of a Sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression
