Method Detail

getSpecialProperties

public int getSpecialProperties(Expression[] arguments)

Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-significant. These properties are used for optimizations. In general, if property bit is set, it is true, but if it is unset, the value is unknown.

Overrides:

getSpecialProperties in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

arguments - the actual arguments to the function call

call

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

Call the function

Specified by:

call in interface Callable

Specified by:

call in interface Function

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as Sequences.

Generally it is advisable, if calling iterate() to process a supplied sequence, to call it only once; if the value is required more than once, it should first be converted to a GroundedValue by calling the utility methd SequenceTool.toGroundedValue().

If the expected value is a single item, the item should be obtained by calling Sequence.head(): it cannot be assumed that the item will be passed as an instance of Item or AtomicValue.

It is the caller's responsibility to perform any type conversions required to convert arguments to the type expected by the callee. An exception is where this Callable is explicitly an argument-converting wrapper around the original Callable.

Returns:

the result of the function call

Throws:

XPathException - if evaluation of the arguments fails

subSequence

public static SequenceIterator<?> subSequence(SequenceIterator seq,
                                              NumericValue startVal,
                                              NumericValue lengthVal,
                                              XPathContext context)
                                       throws XPathException

Throws:

XPathException

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.
