public class TreatFn

extends SystemFunction

This class supports the XPath 2.0 functions exactly-one(), one-or-more(), zero-or-one(). Because Saxon doesn't do strict static type checking, these are essentially identity functions; the run-time type checking is done as part of the function call mechanism

Method Detail

getErrorCodeForTypeErrors

public java.lang.String getErrorCodeForTypeErrors()

Return the error code to be used for type errors

Overrides:

getErrorCodeForTypeErrors in class SystemFunction

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate the function

Specified by:

evaluateItem in interface Expression

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class ComputedExpression

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

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Iterate over the results of the function

Specified by:

iterate in interface Expression

Overrides:

iterate in class ComputedExpression

Parameters:

context - supplies the context for evaluation

Returns:

a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
