Method Detail

getSpecialProperties

public int getSpecialProperties(Expression[] arguments)

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Determine the special properties of this function. The general rule is that a system function call is non-creative unless more details are defined in a subclass.

Overrides:

getSpecialProperties in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

arguments - the actual arguments supplied in a call to the function

getReverseIterator

public static SequenceIterator getReverseIterator(SequenceIterator forwards)
                                           throws XPathException

Throws:

XPathException

call

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

Description copied from interface: Function

Invoke the function

Parameters:

context - the XPath dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the actual arguments to be supplied

Returns:

the result of invoking the function

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs within the function

makeOptimizedFunctionCall

public Expression makeOptimizedFunctionCall(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                                            ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo,
                                            Expression... arguments)
                                     throws XPathException

Allow the function to create an optimized call based on the values of the actual arguments

Overrides:

makeOptimizedFunctionCall in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor

contextInfo - information about the context item

arguments - the supplied arguments to the function call. Note: modifying the contents of this array should not be attempted, it is likely to have no effect.

Returns:

either a function call on this function, or an expression that delivers the same result, or null indicating that no optimization has taken place

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is detected

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.
