Method Details

simplify
Simplify and validate. This is a pure function so it can be simplified in advance if the arguments are known- Overrides:
simplify
in classFunctionCall
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression visitor- Returns:
- the simplified expression
- Throws:
XPathException
- if an error is discovered during expression rewriting
-
optimize
public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor, ItemType contextItemType) throws XPathException Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.
- Overrides:
optimize
in classSystemFunction
- Parameters:
visitor
- an expression visitorcontextItemType
- the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set toType.ITEM_TYPE
- Returns:
- the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution
- Throws:
XPathException
- if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)
-
getCompiledRegularExpression
Get the compiled regular expression if available, otherwise return null- Returns:
- the compiled regex, or null
-
evaluateItem
Evaluate the function in a string context- Specified by:
evaluateItem
in interfaceEvaluableItem
- Overrides:
evaluateItem
in classExpression
- Parameters:
c
- The context in which the expression is to be evaluated- Returns:
- the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
- Throws:
XPathException
- if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
-
checkReplacement
Check the contents of the replacement string- Parameters:
rep
- the replacement string- Returns:
- null if the string is OK, or an error message if not
