public class ExecutableFunctionLibrary extends java.lang.Object implements FunctionLibrary
An ExecutableFunctionLibrary is a function library that contains definitions of functions for use at run-time. Normally functions are bound at compile-time; however there are various situations in which the information is needed dynamically, for example (a) to support the XSLT function-available() call (in the pathological case where the argument is not known statically), (b) to allow functions to be called from saxon:evaluate(), (c) to allow functions to be called from a debugging breakpoint. The objects actually held in the ExecutableFunctionLibrary are UserFunctionCall objects that have been prepared at compile time. These are function calls that do full dynamic type checking: that is, they are prepared on the basis that the static types of the arguments are all "item()*", meaning that full type checking is needed at run-time.- See Also:

Method Summary
All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods Modifier and Type Method Description void
addFunction(UserFunction fn)
Register a function with the function libraryExpression
bind(StructuredQName functionName, Expression[] staticArgs, StaticContext env)
Bind a function, given the URI and local parts of the function name, and the list of expressions supplied as arguments.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.boolean
isAvailable(StructuredQName functionName, int arity)
Test whether a function with a given name and arity is available.java.util.Iterator

Iterate over all the functions defined in this function library.

Method Detail
-
addFunction
public void addFunction(UserFunction fn)
Register a function with the function library- Parameters:
fn
- the function to be registered
-
isAvailable
public boolean isAvailable(StructuredQName functionName, int arity)
Test whether a function with a given name and arity is available. This supports the function-available() function in XSLT.- Specified by:
isAvailable
in interfaceFunctionLibrary
- Parameters:
functionName
- the name of the function being soughtarity
- 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- Returns:
- true if a function of this name and arity is available for calling.
-
bind
public Expression bind(StructuredQName functionName, Expression[] staticArgs, StaticContext env) throws XPathException
Bind a function, given the URI and local parts of the function name, and the list of expressions supplied as arguments. This method is called at compile time.- Specified by:
bind
in interfaceFunctionLibrary
- Parameters:
functionName
- The name of the function to be calledstaticArgs
- The expressions supplied statically in the function call. The intention is that the static type of the arguments (obtainable via getItemType() and getCardinality() may be used as part of the binding algorithm.env
- the static evaluation context- Returns:
- An object representing the extension function to be called, if one is found; null if no extension function was found matching the required name and arity.
- Throws:
XPathException
- if a function is found with the required name and arity, but the implementation of the function cannot be loaded or used; or if an error occurs while searching for the function; or if this function library "owns" the namespace containing the function call, but no function was found.
-
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.- Specified by:
copy
in interfaceFunctionLibrary
- Returns:
- a copy of this function library. This must be an instance of the original class.
-
iterateFunctions
public java.util.Iterator iterateFunctions()
Iterate over all the functions defined in this function library. The objects returned by the iterator are of classUserFunction
- Returns:
- an iterator delivering the
UserFunction
objects representing the user-defined functions in a stylesheet or query
