public MemoFunction()

Method Detail

computeEvaluationMode

public void computeEvaluationMode()

Determine the preferred evaluation mode for this function

Overrides:

computeEvaluationMode in class UserFunction

isMemoFunction

public boolean isMemoFunction()

Ask whether this function is a memo function

Overrides:

isMemoFunction in class UserFunction

Returns:

true if this function is marked as a memo function

call

public Sequence call(XPathContextMajor context,
            Sequence[] actualArgs)
              throws XPathException

Call this function to return a value.

Overrides:

call in class UserFunction

Parameters:

actualArgs - the arguments supplied to the function. These must have the correct types required by the function signature (it is the caller's responsibility to check this). It is acceptable to supply a Closure to represent a value whose evaluation will be delayed until it is needed. The array must be the correct size to match the number of arguments: again, it is the caller's responsibility to check this.

context - This provides the run-time context for evaluating the function. It is the caller's responsibility to allocate a "clean" context for the function to use; the context that is provided will be overwritten by the function.

Returns:

a Value representing the result of the function.

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs while evaluating the function
