Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()
Description copied from class: Function
Get the name of the function. This method must be implemented in all subclasses.
Overrides:
getName in class Function
Following copied from class: com.icl.saxon.expr.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 exprssion, if possible
Overrides:
getDataType in class Expression
Returns:
Value.NUMBER

isNumeric

public boolean isNumeric()
Description copied from class: Expression
Determine whether the return the type of the expression is numeric.
This information is needed if the expression is used as a filter in a path expression or pattern. If false, the value MAY be numeric (e.g. a variable reference)
Overrides:
isNumeric in class Expression
Following copied from class: com.icl.saxon.expr.Expression
Returns:
true if the expression will definitely return a numeric value.

eval

public Value eval(java.util.Vector args,
                  Context context)
           throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
Description copied from class: Function
Evaluate the function, having evaluated its arguments.
This method must be implemented in all subclasses.
Overrides:
eval in class Function
Following copied from class: com.icl.saxon.expr.Function
Parameters:
arguments - A Vector, each of whose elements is a Value containing the value of a supplied argument to the function.
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:
org.xml.sax.SAXException - if the function cannot be evaluated.
