Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
SequenceIterator	call(SequenceIterator[] arguments, XPathContext context)	Evaluate the expression
Item	evaluateItem(XPathContext context)	Run-time evaluation.
Expression	preEvaluate(ExpressionVisitor visitor)	preEvaluate: this method uses the static context to do early evaluation of the function if the argument is known (which is the normal case)

Method Details

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                       throws XPathException

preEvaluate: this method uses the static context to do early evaluation of the function if the argument is known (which is the normal case)

Overrides:

preEvaluate in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor

Returns:

the result of the early evaluation, or the original expression, or potentially a simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if evaluation fails

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Run-time evaluation.

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

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
