FormatNumber

public FormatNumber()

Method Details

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from class: Function

Get the name of the function. This method must be implemented in all subclasses.

Specified by:

getName in class Function

Returns:

the name of the function, as used in XSL expressions, but excluding its namespace prefix

getDataType

public int getDataType()

Determine the data type of the exprEssion

Specified by:

getDataType in class Expression

Returns:

Value.STRING

simplify

public Expression simplify()
                    throws XPathException

Simplify and validate

Overrides:

simplify in class Expression

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException

evaluateAsString

public String evaluateAsString(Context context)
                        throws XPathException

Evaluate in a context where a string is wanted

Overrides:

evaluateAsString in class Expression

Parameters:

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

Returns:

the value of the expression, evaluated in the current context

Throws:

XPathException

evaluate

public Value evaluate(Context c)
               throws XPathException

Evaluate in a general context

Specified by:

evaluate in class Expression

Parameters:

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

Returns:

the value of the expression, evaluated in the current context

Throws:

XPathException

formatNumber

public String formatNumber(double n,
 String format,
 DecimalFormatSymbols dfs)
                    throws XPathException

Here is the method that does the work. It needs to be synchronized because it remembers information from one invocation to the next; it doesn't matter if these are in different threads but it can't be interrupted. The reason for remembering information is that getting a new DecimalFormatSymbols each time is incredibly expensive, especially with the Microsoft Java VM. Actually the synchronization is unnecessary if there is a bound Controller.

Throws:

XPathException

getDependencies

public int getDependencies()

Determine the dependencies

Specified by:

getDependencies in class Expression

reduce

public Expression reduce(int dep,
 Context c)
                  throws XPathException

Reduce the dependencies

Specified by:

reduce in class Expression

Parameters:

dep - The dependencies to be removed, e.g. Context.VARIABLES

c - The context to be used for the partial evaluation

Returns:

a new expression (or Value) that does not have any of the specified dependencies

Throws:

XPathException
