com.saxonica.functions.extfn.Starting

All Implemented Interfaces:

Callable, Function, GroundedValue, Item, Sequence

Direct Known Subclasses:

Starting.ItemsAfter, Starting.ItemsFrom

public abstract class Starting
extends SystemFunction

This class supports the two extension functions saxon:items-from and saxon:items-after. These functions take two arguments: the first is a sequence of items, the second is a function used as a predicate to determine the first item to be included in the result. The functions differ in whether the matching item is included in the result or not.

call

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

Evaluate this function call at run-time

Parameters:

context - The XPath dynamic evaluation context

arguments - The values of the arguments to the function call.

Returns:

the results of the function, as a sequence of arrays

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during evaluation of the function. The Saxon run-time code will add information about the error location.
