public Idref()
Method Detail

simplify

public Expression simplify()
                    throws XPathException
Simplify: add a second implicit argument, the context document

Specified by:
simplify in interface Expression
Overrides:
simplify in class FunctionCall
Throws:
XPathException

checkArguments

public void checkArguments(StaticContext env)
                    throws XPathException
Description copied from class: SystemFunction
Method called during static type checking

Overrides:
checkArguments in class SystemFunction
Throws:
XPathException

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()
Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-signficant. These properties are used for optimizations. In general, if property bit is set, it is true, but if it is unset, the value is unknown.

Overrides:
computeSpecialProperties in class ComputedExpression

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(StaticContext env)
preEvaluate: this method suppresses compile-time evaluation by doing nothing

Overrides:
preEvaluate in class FunctionCall

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException
Enumerate the results of the expression

Specified by:
iterate in interface Expression
Overrides:
iterate in class ComputedExpression
Parameters:
context - supplies the context for evaluation
Returns:
a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression
Throws:
XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

map

public java.lang.Object map(Item item,
                            XPathContext context,
                            java.lang.Object info)
                     throws XPathException
Implement the MappingFunction interface

Specified by:
map in interface MappingFunction
Parameters:
item - The item to be mapped. If context is supplied, this must be the same as context.currentItem().
context - The processing context. This is supplied only for mapping constructs that set the context node, position, and size. Otherwise it is null.
info - Arbitrary information supplied by the creator of the MappingIterator. It must be read-only and immutable for the duration of the iteration.
Returns:
either (a) a SequenceIterator over the sequence of items that the supplied input item maps to, or (b) an Item if it maps to a single item, or (c) null if it maps to an empty sequence.
Throws:
XPathException
