Method Details

simplify

public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                    throws StaticError

Simplify and validate.

Specified by:

simplify in interface Expression

Overrides:

simplify in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

env - the static context

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

StaticError - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(StaticContext env)

preEvaluate: this method suppresses compile-time evaluation by doing nothing

Overrides:

preEvaluate in class FunctionCall

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluation of the expression always throws an error

Specified by:

evaluateItem in interface Expression

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class ComputedExpression

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
