Method Detail

makeFunctionCall

public Expression makeFunctionCall(Expression[] arguments)

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Make an expression that either calls this function, or that is equivalent to a call on this function

Overrides:

makeFunctionCall in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

arguments - the supplied arguments to the function call

Returns:

either a function call on this function, or an expression that delivers the same result

call

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

Evaluate the expression as a general function call

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as SequenceIterators

Returns:

the result of the evaluation, in the form of a SequenceIterator

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression

getStreamerName

public java.lang.String getStreamerName()

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Get a name that identifies the class that can be used to evaluate this function in streaming mode, that is, supplying one item or event at a time as it is delivered by the parser. Special streaming support is generally available in Saxon-EE for all system functions that take a sequence as their argument.

Overrides:

getStreamerName in class SystemFunction

Returns:

a name that identifies a class that supports streamed evaluation of this system function, or null if no such class is available. The mapping of names to classes is defined in the Saxon-EE class StreamerMap. In non-streaming Saxon editions (HE and PE) the method always returns null.
