Class UserFunctionReference.BoundUserFunction

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.functions.AbstractFunction

net.sf.saxon.functions.hof.UserFunctionReference.BoundUserFunction

All Implemented Interfaces:

Callable, ContextOriginator, Function, GroundedValue, Item, Sequence

Enclosing class:

UserFunctionReference

public static class UserFunctionReference.BoundUserFunction
extends AbstractFunction
implements ContextOriginator

A BoundUserFunction represents a user-defined function seen as a component. A single source-level XSLT function may be the actor in several different components (in different stylesheet packages). Although the code of the function is identical in each case, the bindings to other stylesheet components may be different.

makeNewContext

public XPathContext makeNewContext(XPathContext oldContext,
 ContextOriginator originator)

Description copied from class: AbstractFunction

Prepare an XPathContext object for evaluating the function

Specified by:

makeNewContext in interface Function

Overrides:

makeNewContext in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

oldContext - the XPathContext of the function calling expression

originator - the originator of the new context

Returns:

a suitable context for evaluating the function (which may or may not be the same as the caller's context)

call

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

Description copied from interface: Callable

Call the Callable.

Specified by:

call in interface Callable

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

args - the values of the arguments, supplied as Sequences.

Generally it is advisable, if calling iterate() to process a supplied sequence, to call it only once; if the value is required more than once, it should first be converted to a GroundedValue by calling the utility method SequenceTool.toGroundedValue().

If the expected value is a single item, the item should be obtained by calling Sequence.head(): it cannot be assumed that the item will be passed as an instance of Item or AtomicValue.

It is the caller's responsibility to perform any type conversions required to convert arguments to the type expected by the callee. An exception is where this Callable is explicitly an argument-converting wrapper around the original Callable.

Returns:

the result of the evaluation, in the form of a Sequence. It is the responsibility of the callee to ensure that the type of result conforms to the expected result type.

Throws:

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

getFunctionItemType

public FunctionItemType getFunctionItemType()

Description copied from interface: Function

Get the item type of the function item

Specified by:

getFunctionItemType in interface Function

Returns:

the function item's type

getAnnotations

public AnnotationList getAnnotations()

Description copied from interface: Function

Get the function annotations (as defined in XQuery). Returns an empty list if there are no function annotations.

Specified by:

getAnnotations in interface Function

Overrides:

getAnnotations in class AbstractFunction

Returns:

the function annotations

getFunctionName

public StructuredQName getFunctionName()

Description copied from interface: Function

Get the name of the function, or null if it is anonymous

Specified by:

getFunctionName in interface Function

Returns:

the function name, or null for an anonymous inline function

getArity

public int getArity()

Description copied from interface: Function

Get the arity of the function

Specified by:

getArity in interface Function

Returns:

the number of arguments in the function signature

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: Function

Get a description of this function for use in error messages. For named functions, the description is the function name (as a lexical QName). For others, it might be, for example, "inline function", or "partially-applied ends-with function".

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Function

Returns:

a description of the function for use in error messages

export

public void export(ExpressionPresenter out)
            throws XPathException

Description copied from class: AbstractFunction

Output information about this function item to the diagnostic explain() output

Specified by:

export in interface Function

Overrides:

export in class AbstractFunction

Parameters:

out - the destination for the information

Throws:

XPathException - if things go wrong
