Constructor Detail

SystemFunctionWithBoundContextItem

public SystemFunctionWithBoundContextItem(SystemFunction target,
                                          XPathContext context)

Method Detail

call

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

Evaluate the expression

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as SequenceIterators

Returns:

the result of the evaluation, in the form of a SequenceIterator

Throws:

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

getArity

public int getArity()

Get the arity of the function

Returns:

the number of arguments in the function signature

getFunctionItemType

public FunctionItemType getFunctionItemType()

Get the item type of the function item

Returns:

the function item's type

getFunctionName

public StructuredQName getFunctionName()

Get the name of the function, or null if it is anonymous

Returns:

the function name, or null for an anonymous inline function

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Get a description of this function for use in error messages. For named functions, the description is the function name (as a lexical QName). For others, it might be, for example, "inline function", or "partially-applied ends-with function".

Returns:

a description of the function for use in error messages
