Method Detail

simplify

public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify and validate.

Specified by:

simplify in interface Expression

Overrides:

simplify in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

env - the static context

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

getIntrinsicDependencies

public int getIntrinsicDependencies()

Determine the intrinsic dependencies of an expression, that is, those which are not derived from the dependencies of its subexpressions. For example, position() has an intrinsic dependency on the context position, while (position()+1) does not. The default implementation of the method returns 0, indicating "no dependencies".

Overrides:

getIntrinsicDependencies in class ComputedExpression

Returns:

a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty

preEvaluate

public Expression preEvaluate(StaticContext env)
                       throws XPathException

Pre-evaluate a function at compile time. Functions that do not allow pre-evaluation, or that need access to context information, can override this method.

Overrides:

preEvaluate in class FunctionCall

Throws:

XPathException

evaluateItem

public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext c)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate in a general context

Specified by:

evaluateItem in interface Expression

Overrides:

evaluateItem in class ComputedExpression

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

normalize

public static java.lang.CharSequence normalize(java.lang.CharSequence s)

The algorithm that does the work: it removes leading and trailing whitespace, and replaces internal whitespace by a single space character. The code is optimized for two special cases: where the string is all whitespace, and where it contains no spaces at all (including the case where it is empty). In these two cases it avoids creating a new object.
