Constructor Detail

AtomicConstructorFunction

public AtomicConstructorFunction(AtomicType targetType,
                         NamespaceResolver resolver)

Create the constructor function.

Parameters:

targetType - the type to which the function will convert its input

resolver - namespace resolver for use if the target type is namespace-sensitive

Method Detail

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 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

getArity

public int getArity()

Get the arity of the function

Returns:

the number of arguments in the function signature

call

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

Invoke the function

Parameters:

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

args - the actual arguments to be supplied

Returns:

the result of invoking the function

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs within the function

export

public void export(ExpressionPresenter out)

Description copied from class: AbstractFunction

Output information about this function item to the diagnostic explain() output

Specified by:

export in interface Function

Overrides:

export in class AbstractFunction
