Constructor Detail

StyleSheetFunctionCall

public StyleSheetFunctionCall()

Method Detail

setFunction

public void setFunction(SAXONFunction f)

Create the reference to the saxon:function element

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Get the name of the function.

Overrides:

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, if possible

Overrides:

getDataType in class Expression

Returns:

Value.ANY (meaning not known in advance)

simplify

public Expression simplify()
                    throws XPathException

Simplify the function call

Overrides:

simplify in class Expression

Following copied from class: com.icl.saxon.expr.Expression

Returns:

the simplified expression

getDependencies

public int getDependencies()

Determine which aspects of the context the expression depends on. The result is a bitwise-or'ed value composed from constants such as Context.VARIABLES and Context.CURRENT_NODE

Overrides:

getDependencies in class Expression

reduce

public Expression reduce(int dependencies,
                         Context context)
                  throws XPathException

Remove dependencies.

Overrides:

reduce in class Expression

Following copied from class: com.icl.saxon.expr.Expression

Parameters:

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

context - The context to be used for the partial evaluation

Returns:

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

evaluate

public Value evaluate(Context c)
               throws XPathException

Evaluate the function

Overrides:

evaluate in class Expression

Parameters:

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

Returns:

a Value representing the result of the function. This must be of the data type corresponding to the result of getType().

Throws:

XPathException - if the function cannot be evaluated.
