Method Detail

checkArguments

public void checkArguments(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Method called during static type checking

Overrides:

checkArguments in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor

Throws:

XPathException - if the arguments are incorrect

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate in a general context

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class Expression

Parameters:

context - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated

Returns:

the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

call

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

Description copied from interface: CallableExpression

Evaluate the expression

Specified by:

call in interface CallableExpression

Parameters:

arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as SequenceIterators

context - the dynamic evaluation context

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
