Method Detail

evaluate

public AtomicValue evaluate(Item arg,
                            XPathContext context)

Description copied from class: ScalarSystemFunction

Abstract method that must be supplied in subclasses to perform the evaluation

Specified by:

evaluate in class ScalarSystemFunction

Parameters:

arg - the supplied argument

context - the dynamic context

Returns:

the result of the evaluation

resultWhenEmpty

public ZeroOrOne<StringValue> resultWhenEmpty()

Description copied from class: ScalarSystemFunction

Method that may be supplied in subclasses, to indicate the result that is returned when an empty sequence is supplied as the argument value. The default is to return the empty sequence

Overrides:

resultWhenEmpty in class ScalarSystemFunction

Returns:

the result of evaluation when the supplied argument is an empty sequence

getCompilerName

public java.lang.String getCompilerName()

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Get the (local) name of a class that can be used to generate bytecode for this system function

Overrides:

getCompilerName in class SystemFunction

Returns:

the name of a bytecode generation class, or null if there is no bytecode support for this function
