config - the Configuration

getExpressionName

public java.lang.String getExpressionName()

Get a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user.

Overrides:

getExpressionName in class FunctionCall

Returns:

a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user. The name will always be in the form of a lexical XML QName, and should match the name used in explain() output displaying the expression.

getFunctionName

public StructuredQName getFunctionName()

Get the qualified of the function being called

Specified by:

getFunctionName in class FunctionCall

Returns:

the qualified name

getTargetFunction

public Function getTargetFunction(XPathContext context)
                           throws XPathException

Get the target function to be called

Specified by:

getTargetFunction in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

the target function

Throws:

XPathException - if the target function cannot be determined

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

preEvaluate: this method suppresses compile-time evaluation by doing nothing (because the external function might have side-effects and might use the context)

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

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                            ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                     throws XPathException

Description copied from class: FunctionCall

Type-check the expression. This also calls preEvaluate() to evaluate the function if all the arguments are constant; functions that do not require this behavior can override the preEvaluate method.

Overrides:

typeCheck in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextInfo - Information available statically about the context item: whether it is (possibly) absent; its static type; its streaming posture.

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

prepareForDynamicCall

public void prepareForDynamicCall(Configuration config)
                           throws XPathException

Throws:

XPathException

adjustRequiredType

public boolean adjustRequiredType(JavaExternalObjectType requiredType)
                           throws XPathException

When a call to a Java extension function appears in a context where there the required type is a Java external object (typically an xsl:variable with a declared type, or as an argument to another Java extension function), notify this required type so that the process of converting the result to an XDM value can be short-circuited.

Overrides:

adjustRequiredType in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

requiredType - the required type of the result of the function, determined by the context in which the function call appears

Returns:

Ok if the type has been successfully adjusted

Throws:

XPathException - if the required return type is incompatible with the type actually returned by the Java method

copy

public Expression copy(RebindingMap rebindings)

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Parameters:

rebindings - variables to be re-bound

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

getIntrinsicDependencies

public int getIntrinsicDependencies()

Determine which aspects of the context the expression depends on. The result is a bitwise-or'ed value composed from constants such as XPathContext.VARIABLES and XPathContext.CURRENT_NODE

Overrides:

getIntrinsicDependencies in class Expression

Returns:

a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty

isSubtreeExpression

public boolean isSubtreeExpression()

Determine whether the expression can be evaluated without reference to the part of the context document outside the subtree rooted at the context node.

Overrides:

isSubtreeExpression in class Expression

Returns:

true if the expression has no dependencies on the context node, or if the only dependencies on the context node are downward selections using the self, child, descendant, attribute, and namespace axes.

addToPathMap

public PathMap.PathMapNodeSet addToPathMap(PathMap pathMap,
                                           PathMap.PathMapNodeSet pathMapNodeSet)

Add a representation of this expression to a PathMap. The PathMap captures a map of the nodes visited by an expression in a source tree.

The default implementation of this method assumes that an expression does no navigation other than the navigation done by evaluating its subexpressions, and that the subexpressions are evaluated in the same context as the containing expression. The method must be overridden for any expression where these assumptions do not hold. For example, implementations exist for AxisExpression, ParentExpression, and RootExpression (because they perform navigation), and for the doc(), document(), and collection() functions because they create a new navigation root. Implementations also exist for PathExpression and FilterExpression because they have subexpressions that are evaluated in a different context from the calling expression.

Overrides:

addToPathMap in class Expression

Parameters:

pathMap - the PathMap to which the expression should be added

pathMapNodeSet - the PathMapNodeSet to which the paths embodied in this expression should be added

Returns:

the pathMapNode representing the focus established by this expression, in the case where this expression is the first operand of a path expression or filter expression. For an expression that does navigation, it represents the end of the arc in the path map that describes the navigation route. For other expressions, it is the same as the input pathMapNode.

isNodeCheckRequired

public boolean isNodeCheckRequired()

Ask whether the result needs to be checked to ensure it contains no nodes from the wrong Configuration

Returns:

true if the result needs to be checked

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Evaluate the function.

Overrides:

iterate in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

context - The context in which the function is to be evaluated

Returns:

a Value representing the result of the function.

Throws:

XPathException - if the function cannot be evaluated.

getTargetClass

public java.lang.Class getTargetClass()

Get the class containing the method being called

Returns:

the class containing the target method

getTargetMethod

public java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject getTargetMethod()

Get the target method (or field, or constructor) being called

Returns:

the target method, field, or constructor

getParameterTypes

public java.lang.Class[] getParameterTypes()

                     Sequence[] argValues)
              throws XPathException

Call an extension function previously identified using the bind() method. A subclass can override this method.

Specified by:

call in interface Callable

Parameters:

context - The XPath dynamic evaluation context

argValues - The values of the arguments

Returns:

The value returned by the extension function

Throws:

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

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Determine the data type of the expression, if possible. All expressions return sequences, in general; this method determines the type of the items within the sequence, assuming that (a) this is known in advance, and (b) it is the same for all items in the sequence.

This method will always return a result, though it may be the best approximation that is available at the time.

Specified by:

getItemType in class Expression

Returns:

the item type

computeCardinality

public int computeCardinality()

Description copied from class: Expression

Compute the static cardinality of this expression

Specified by:

computeCardinality in class Expression

Returns:

the computed cardinality, as one of the values StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_ONE, StaticProperty.EXACTLY_ONE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ONE_OR_MORE, StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO_OR_MORE. May also return StaticProperty.ALLOWS_ZERO if the result is known to be an empty sequence, or StaticProperty.ALLOWS_MANY if if is known to return a sequence of length two or more.

getReturnClass

public java.lang.Class getReturnClass()

Get the Java class of the value returned by the method

Returns:

the Java class of the value returned by the method

getArgumentConverters

public PJConverter[] getArgumentConverters()
