Package net.sf.saxon.ma.map

Class MapCreate

net.sf.saxon.ma.map.MapCreate

All Implemented Interfaces:

Callable, Function, GroundedValue, Item, Sequence

public class MapCreate
extends SystemFunction

This is a variant of the map:new() or map:merge() function which differs in that duplicate keys are considered an error. It is not available directly to users, but underpins the map constructor expression in XPath and the xsl:map instruction in XSLT. Moved to the Saxon namespace in 9.8 - see bug 2740 and test case function-available-1017

Method Detail

call

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

Description copied from interface: Function

Invoke the function

Parameters:

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the actual arguments to be supplied

Returns:

the result of invoking the function

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs within the function

getStreamerName

public java.lang.String getStreamerName()

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Get a name that identifies the class that can be used to evaluate this function in streaming mode, that is, supplying one item or event at a time as it is delivered by the parser. Special streaming support is generally available in Saxon-EE for all system functions that take a sequence as their argument.

Overrides:

getStreamerName in class SystemFunction

Returns:

a name that identifies a class that supports streamed evaluation of this system function, or null if no such class is available. The mapping of names to classes is defined in the Saxon-EE class StreamerMap. In non-streaming Saxon editions (HE and PE) the method always returns null.
