Method Details

allowRegexMatchingEmptyString

protected boolean allowRegexMatchingEmptyString()

Specified by:

allowRegexMatchingEmptyString in class RegexFunction

evalMatches

public boolean evalMatches(AtomicValue input,
 AtomicValue regex,
 UnicodeString flags,
 XPathContext context)
                    throws XPathException

Interface used by compiled bytecode

Parameters:

input - the value to be tested

regex - the regular expression

flags - the flags

context - the dynamic context

Returns:

true if the string matches the regex

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

call

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

Evaluate the expression

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as Sequences

Returns:

the result of the evaluation, in the form of a Sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression

getCompilerName

public String getCompilerName()

Description copied from class: SystemFunction

Get the (local) name of a class that can be used to generate bytecode for this system function

Overrides:

getCompilerName in class SystemFunction

Returns:

the name of a bytecode generation class, or null if there is no bytecode support for this function
