AbstractFunction

public AbstractFunction()

Method Detail

getOperandRoles

public OperandRole[] getOperandRoles()

Get the roles of the arguments, for the purposes of streaming

Specified by:

getOperandRoles in interface Function

Returns:

an array of OperandRole objects, one for each argument

atomize

public AtomicSequence atomize()
                       throws XPathException

Atomize the item.

Specified by:

atomize in interface Item

Returns:

the result of atomization

Throws:

XPathException - if atomization is not allowed for this kind of item

isArray

public boolean isArray()

Ask whether this function is an array

Specified by:

isArray in interface Function

Returns:

true if this function item is an array, otherwise false

isMap

public boolean isMap()

Ask whether this function is a map

Specified by:

isMap in interface Function

Returns:

true if this function item is a map, otherwise false

getStringValue

public String getStringValue()

Get the string value of the function

Specified by:

getStringValue in interface GroundedValue

Specified by:

getStringValue in interface Item

Returns:

the string value of the item

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - (the string value of a function is not defined)

See Also:

Item.getStringValueCS()

getStringValueCS

public CharSequence getStringValueCS()

Get the string value of the function

Specified by:

getStringValueCS in interface GroundedValue

Specified by:

getStringValueCS in interface Item

Returns:

the string value of the item

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - (the string value of a function is not defined)

See Also:

Item.getStringValue()

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

Returns:

the function annotations

effectiveBooleanValue

public boolean effectiveBooleanValue()
                              throws XPathException

Get the effective boolean value of the function item

Specified by:

effectiveBooleanValue in interface GroundedValue

Returns:

the effective boolean value

Throws:

XPathException - (the EBVof a function item is not defined)

simplify

public void simplify()
              throws XPathException

Throws:

XPathException

typeCheck

public void typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                      ContextItemStaticInfo contextItemType)
               throws XPathException

Type check the function (may modify it by adding code for converting the arguments)

Parameters:

visitor - the expression visitor, supplies context information

contextItemType - the context item type at the point where the function definition appears

Throws:

XPathException - if any failure (e.g. a type checking failure) occurs

makeNewContext

public XPathContext makeNewContext(XPathContext callingContext,
                                   ContextOriginator originator)

Prepare an XPathContext object for evaluating the function

Specified by:

makeNewContext in interface Function

Parameters:

callingContext - the XPathContext of the function calling expression

originator -

Returns:

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

deepEquals

public boolean deepEquals(Function other,
                          XPathContext context,
                          AtomicComparer comparer,
                          int flags)
                   throws XPathException
