Class FunctionLibraryList

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.functions.FunctionLibraryList

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, FunctionLibrary, XQueryFunctionBinder

public class FunctionLibraryList
extends Object
implements FunctionLibrary, XQueryFunctionBinder

A FunctionLibraryList is a list of FunctionLibraries. It is also a FunctionLibrary in its own right. When required, it searches the list of FunctionLibraries to find the required function.

Method Detail

addFunctionLibrary

public int addFunctionLibrary(FunctionLibrary lib)

Add a new FunctionLibrary to the list of FunctionLibraries in this FunctionLibraryList. Note that libraries are searched in the order they are added to the list.

Parameters:

lib - A function library to be added to the list of function libraries to be searched.

Returns:

the position of the library in the list

get

public FunctionLibrary get(int n)

Get the n'th function library in the list

getFunctionItem

public FunctionItem getFunctionItem(StructuredQName functionName,
                           int arity,
                           StaticContext staticContext)
                             throws XPathException

Test whether a function with a given name and arity is available; if so, return a function item that can be dynamically called.

This supports the function-lookup() function in XPath 3.0.

Specified by:

getFunctionItem in interface FunctionLibrary

Parameters:

functionName - the qualified name of the function being called

arity - The number of arguments.

staticContext - the static context to be used by the function, in the event that it is a system function with dependencies on the static context

Returns:

if a function of this name and arity is available for calling, then a corresponding function item; or null if the function does not exist

Throws:

XPathException - in the event of certain errors, for example attempting to get a function that is private

isAvailable

public boolean isAvailable(StructuredQName functionName,
                  int arity)

Test whether a function with a given name and arity is available

This supports the function-available() function in XSLT.

Specified by:

isAvailable in interface FunctionLibrary

Parameters:

functionName - the qualified name of the function being called

arity - The number of arguments.

Returns:

true if a function of this name and arity is available for calling

bind

public Expression bind(StructuredQName functionName,
              int arity,
              Expression[] staticArgs,
              StaticContext env,
              Container container)
                throws XPathException

Bind an extension function, given the URI and local parts of the function name, and the list of expressions supplied as arguments. This method is called at compile time.

Specified by:

bind in interface FunctionLibrary

Parameters:

functionName -

arity -

staticArgs - The expressions supplied statically in arguments to the function call. The length of this array represents the arity of the function. The intention is that the static type of the arguments (obtainable via getItemType() and getCardinality() may be used as part of the binding algorithm. In some cases it may be possible for the function to be pre-evaluated at compile time, for example if these expressions are all constant values.

env -

container -

Returns:

An object representing the extension function to be called, if one is found; null if no extension function was found matching the required name and arity.

Throws:

XPathException - if a function is found with the required name and arity, but the implementation of the function cannot be loaded or used; or if an error occurs while searching for the function.

getDeclaration

public XQueryFunction getDeclaration(StructuredQName functionName,
                            Expression[] staticArgs)

Get the function declaration corresponding to a given function name and arity

Specified by:

getDeclaration in interface XQueryFunctionBinder

Parameters:

functionName - the name of the function as a QName

staticArgs - the expressions supplied as arguments in the function call (typically, we only need to know the number of arguments)

Returns:

the XQueryFunction if there is one, or null if not.

getLibraryList

public List<FunctionLibrary> getLibraryList()

Get the list of contained FunctionLibraries. This method allows the caller to modify the library list, for example by adding a new FunctionLibrary at a chosen position, by removing a library from the list, or by changing the order of libraries in the list. Note that such changes may violate rules in the language specifications, or assumptions made within the product.

Returns:

a list whose members are of class FunctionLibrary

copy

public FunctionLibrary copy()

This method creates a copy of a FunctionLibrary: if the original FunctionLibrary allows new functions to be added, then additions to this copy will not affect the original, or vice versa.

Specified by:

copy in interface FunctionLibrary

Returns:

a copy of this function library. This must be an instance of the original class.
