Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Expression	bind(SymbolicName.F functionName, Expression[] staticArgs, StaticContext env) Bind a function, given the URI and local parts of the function name, and the list of expressions supplied as arguments.
FunctionLibrary	copy() This method creates a copy of a FunctionLibrary: if the original FunctionLibrary allows new functions to be added, then additions to this copy will not affect the original, or vice versa.
Function	getFunctionItem(SymbolicName.F functionName, StaticContext staticContext) Test whether a function with a given name and arity is available; if so, return a function item that can be dynamically called.
boolean	isAvailable(SymbolicName.F functionName) Test whether a function with a given name and arity is available

Method Detail

isAvailable

public boolean isAvailable(SymbolicName.F functionName)

Description copied from interface: FunctionLibrary

Test whether a function with a given name and arity is available

This supports the function-available() function in XSLT.

Specified by:

isAvailable in interface FunctionLibrary

Parameters:

functionName - the qualified name of the function being called, together with its arity. For legacy reasons, the arity may be set to -1 to mean any arity will do

Returns:

true if a function of this name and arity is available for calling

bind

public Expression bind(SymbolicName.F functionName,
                       Expression[] staticArgs,
                       StaticContext env)
                throws XPathException

Description copied from interface: FunctionLibrary

Bind a function, given the URI and local parts of the function name, and the list of expressions supplied as arguments. This method is called at compile time.

Specified by:

bind in interface FunctionLibrary

Parameters:

functionName - the QName of the function being called

staticArgs - May be null; if present, the length of the array must match the value of arity. Contains the expressions supplied statically in arguments to the function call. The intention is that the static type of the arguments (obtainable via getItemType() and getCardinality()) may be used as part of the binding algorithm. In some cases it may be possible for the function to be pre-evaluated at compile time, for example if these expressions are all constant values.

The conventions of the XPath language demand that the results of a function depend only on the values of the expressions supplied as arguments, and not on the form of those expressions. For example, the result of f(4) is expected to be the same as f(2+2). The actual expression is supplied here to enable the binding mechanism to select the most efficient possible implementation (including compile-time pre-evaluation where appropriate).

env - The static context of the function call

Returns:

An expression equivalent to a call on the specified function, if one is found; null if no function was found matching the required name and arity.

Throws:

XPathException - if a function is found with the required name and arity, but the implementation of the function cannot be loaded or used; or if an error occurs while searching for the function.

copy

public FunctionLibrary copy()

Description copied from interface: FunctionLibrary

This method creates a copy of a FunctionLibrary: if the original FunctionLibrary allows new functions to be added, then additions to this copy will not affect the original, or vice versa.

Specified by:

copy in interface FunctionLibrary

Returns:

a copy of this function library. This must be an instance of the original class.

getFunctionItem

public Function getFunctionItem(SymbolicName.F functionName,
                                StaticContext staticContext)
                         throws XPathException

Description copied from interface: FunctionLibrary

Test whether a function with a given name and arity is available; if so, return a function item that can be dynamically called.

This supports the function-lookup() function in XPath 3.0.

Specified by:

getFunctionItem in interface FunctionLibrary

Parameters:

functionName - the qualified name of the function being called

staticContext - the static context to be used by the function, in the event that it is a system function with dependencies on the static context

Returns:

if a function of this name and arity is available for calling, then a corresponding function item; or null if the function does not exist

Throws:

XPathException - in the event of certain errors, for example attempting to get a function that is private
