Method Detail

simplify

public Expression simplify(StaticContext env)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify. Recognize remove(seq, 1) as a TailExpression.

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

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the items in the sequence

Specified by:

getItemType in interface Expression

Overrides:

getItemType in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

th -

Returns:

the type of the input sequence

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Evaluate the function to return an iteration of selected nodes.

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
