Class JSFunctionLibrary

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    FunctionLibrary
    public class JSFunctionLibrary
extends java.lang.Object
implements FunctionLibrary
    The JSFunctionLibrary is a FunctionLibrary that binds XPath function calls to calls on JavaScript methods.

    • Method Summary

      All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods 
      Modifier and Type Method Description
      Expression bind​(SymbolicName.F functionName, Expression[] staticArgs, StaticContext env, java.util.List<java.lang.String> reasons)
      Bind a function, given the URI and local parts of the function name, and the list of expressions supplied as arguments.
      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.
      Function getFunctionItem​(SymbolicName.F functionName, StaticContext staticContext)
      Test whether a function with a given name and arity is available; if so, return a function item that can be dynamically called.
      boolean isAvailable​(SymbolicName.F functionName, int languageLevel)
      Test whether a function with a given name and arity is available

      • isAvailable

        public boolean isAvailable​(SymbolicName.F functionName,
                           int languageLevel)
        Description copied from interface: FunctionLibrary
        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, together with its arity. For legacy reasons, the arity may be set to -1 to mean any arity will do
        languageLevel - the XPath language level (times 10, e.g. 31 for XPath 3.1)
        Returns:
        true if a function of this name and arity is available for calling

      • bind

        public Expression bind​(SymbolicName.F functionName,
                       Expression[] staticArgs,
                       StaticContext env,
                       java.util.List<java.lang.String> reasons)
        Description copied from interface: FunctionLibrary
        Bind a 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 - the QName of the function being called
        staticArgs - May be null; if present, the length of the array must match the value of arity. Contains the expressions supplied statically in arguments to the function call. 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.

        The conventions of the XPath language demand that the results of a function depend only on the values of the expressions supplied as arguments, and not on the form of those expressions. For example, the result of f(4) is expected to be the same as f(2+2). The actual expression is supplied here to enable the binding mechanism to select the most efficient possible implementation (including compile-time pre-evaluation where appropriate).

        env - The static context of the function call
        reasons - If no matching function is found by the function library, it may add a diagnostic explanation to this list explaining why none of the available functions could be used.
        Returns:
        An expression equivalent to a call on the specified function, if one is found; null if no function was found matching the required name and arity.

      • copy

        public FunctionLibrary copy()
        Description copied from interface: FunctionLibrary
        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.

      • getFunctionItem

        public Function getFunctionItem​(SymbolicName.F functionName,
                                StaticContext staticContext)
                         throws XPathException
        Description copied from interface: FunctionLibrary
        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
        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
