public final class LastItemExpression
extends SingleItemFilter

A LastItemExpression returns the last item in the sequence returned by a given base expression. The evaluation strategy is to read the input sequence with a one-item lookahead.

Constructor Detail

LastItemExpression

public LastItemExpression(Expression base)

Constructor

Parameters:

base - A sequence expression denoting sequence whose first item is to be returned

Method Detail

copy

public Expression copy(RebindingMap rebindings)

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Parameters:

rebindings - variables that need to be re-bound

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

getImplementationMethod

public int getImplementationMethod()

An implementation of Expression must provide at least one of the methods evaluateItem(), iterate(), or process(). This method indicates which of these methods is provided directly. The other methods will always be available indirectly, using an implementation that relies on one of the other methods.

Specified by:

getImplementationMethod in class Expression

Returns:

the implementation method, for example Expression.ITERATE_METHOD or Expression.EVALUATE_METHOD or Expression.PROCESS_METHOD

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

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

Returns:

the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

getExpressionName

public java.lang.String getExpressionName()

Description copied from class: Expression

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

Overrides:

getExpressionName in class Expression

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 export() output displaying the expression.

getElaborator

public Elaborator getElaborator()

Make an elaborator for this expression

Overrides:

getElaborator in class Expression

Returns:

a suitable elaborator

getLast

public static Item getLast(SequenceIterator iter)

Get the last item delivered by an iterator, or null if the iterator is empty

Parameters:

iter - the supplied iterator (which may or may not be consumed)

Returns:

the last item returned by the iterator, or null if there are none.
