Method Detail

evaluateItem

public StringValue evaluateItem(XPathContext c)
                         throws XPathException

Evaluate in a general context

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

c - 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

call

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

Description copied from interface: Callable

Call the Callable.

Specified by:

call in interface Callable

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as Sequences.

Generally it is advisable, if calling iterate() to process a supplied sequence, to call it only once; if the value is required more than once, it should first be converted to a GroundedValue by calling the utility methd SequenceTool.toGroundedValue().

If the expected value is a single item, the item should be obtained by calling Sequence.head(): it cannot be assumed that the item will be passed as an instance of Item or AtomicValue.

It is the caller's responsibility to perform any type conversions required to convert arguments to the type expected by the callee. An exception is where this Callable is explicitly an argument-converting wrapper around the original Callable.

Returns:

the result of the evaluation, in the form of a Sequence. It is the responsibility of the callee to ensure that the type of result conforms to the expected result type.

Throws:

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

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Return the compiler of the UpperCase expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler
