public interface CallableExpression

A generic interface for calling expressions by supplying the values of their subexpressions

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
SequenceIterator<? extends Item>	call(SequenceIterator<? extends Item>[] arguments, XPathContext context)	Evaluate the expression
Expression[]	getArguments()	Get the subexpressions (arguments to this expression)

Method Detail

getArguments

Expression[] getArguments()

Get the subexpressions (arguments to this expression)

Returns:

the arguments, as an array

call

SequenceIterator<? extends Item> call(SequenceIterator<? extends Item>[] arguments,
                                      XPathContext context)
                               throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression

Parameters:

arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as SequenceIterators

context - the dynamic evaluation context

Returns:

the result of the evaluation, in the form of a SequenceIterator

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression
