Class XQueryFunctionLibrary

public class XQueryFunctionLibrary extends Object implements FunctionLibrary, XQueryFunctionBinder

An XQueryFunctionLibrary is a function library containing all the user-defined functions available for use within a particular XQuery module: that is, the functions declared in that module, and the functions imported from other modules. It also contains (transiently during compilation) a list of function calls within the module that have not yet been bound to a specific function declaration.

Method Detail

bind

public Expression bind(int nameCode, String uri, String local, Expression[] arguments)
Identify a (namespace-prefixed) function appearing in the expression. This method is called by the XQuery parser to resolve function calls found within the query.

Note that a function call may appear earlier in the query than the definition of the function to which it is bound. Unlike XSLT, we cannot search forwards to find the function definition. Binding of function calls is therefore a two-stage process; at the time the function call is parsed, we simply register it as pending; subsequently at the end of query parsing all the pending function calls are resolved. Another consequence of this is that we cannot tell at the time a function call is parsed whether it is a call to an internal (XSLT or XQuery) function or to an extension function written in Java.

Returns: an Expression representing the function call. This will normally be a FunctionCall, but it may be rewritten as some other expression.

Throws: XPathException if the function call is invalid, either because it is an unprefixed call to a non-system function, or because it is calling a system function that is available in XSLT only. A prefixed function call that cannot be recognized at this stage is assumed to be a forwards reference, and is bound later when bindUnboundFunctionCalls() is called.

copy

public FunctionLibrary copy()
This method creates a copy of a FunctionLibrary: if the original FunctionLibrary allows new functions to be added, then additions to this copy will not affect the original, or vice versa.

Returns: a copy of this function library. This must be an instance of the original class.

declareFunction

public void declareFunction(XQueryFunction function)
Register a user-defined XQuery function

explainGlobalFunctions

public void explainGlobalFunctions()
Output "explain" information about each declared function

fixupGlobalFunctions

protected void fixupGlobalFunctions(StaticQueryContext env)
Fixup all references to global functions. This method is called on completion of query parsing. Each XQueryFunction is required to bind all references to that function to the object representing the run-time executable code of the function.

This method is for internal use.

getConfiguration

public Configuration getConfiguration()
Get the Configuration options

getDeclaration

public XQueryFunction getDeclaration(int nameCode, String uri, String local, Expression[] staticArgs)
Get the function declaration corresponding to a given function name and arity

Returns: the XQueryFunction if there is one, or null if not.

getFunctionDefinitions

public Iterator getFunctionDefinitions()
Get an iterator over the Functions defined in this module

Returns: an Iterator, whose items are XQueryFunction objects. It returns all function known to this module including those imported from elsewhere; they can be distinguished by their namespace.

getUserDefinedFunction

public UserFunction getUserDefinedFunction(String uri, String localName, int arity)
Get the function with a given name and arity. This method is provided so that XQuery functions can be called directly from a Java application. Note that there is no type checking or conversion of arguments when this is done: the arguments must be provided in exactly the form that the function signature declares them.

Parameters: uri the uri of the function name localName the local part of the function name arity the number of arguments.

isAvailable

public boolean isAvailable(int fingerprint, String uri, String local, int arity)
Test whether a function with a given name and arity is available. This supports the function-available() function in XSLT. This method may be called either at compile time or at run time.

Parameters: uri The URI of the function name local The local part of the function name arity The number of arguments. This is set to -1 in the case of the single-argument function-available() function; in this case the method should return true if there is some matching extension function, regardless of its arity.

setConfiguration

public void setConfiguration(Configuration config)
Set the Configuration options
