Class CurrentDateTime

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, SourceLocator, LocationProvider, SaxonLocator, CallableExpression, InstructionInfo, Locator

public class CurrentDateTime extends SystemFunction implements CallableExpression
This class implements the XPath 2.0 functions current-date(), current-time(), and current-dateTime(), as well as the function implicit-timezone(). The value that is required is inferred from the type of result required.

    • preEvaluate

      public Expression preEvaluate(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
      preEvaluate: this method suppresses compile-time evaluation by doing nothing (because the value of the expression depends on the runtime context)
      Overrides:
      preEvaluate in class FunctionCall
      Parameters:
      visitor - an expression visitor
      Returns:
      the result of the early evaluation, or the original expression, or potentially a simplified expression
    • getIntrinsicDependencies

      public int getIntrinsicDependencies()
      Determine the dependencies
      Overrides:
      getIntrinsicDependencies in class Expression
      Returns:
      a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty
    • evaluateItem

      public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Evaluate in a general context
      Overrides:
      evaluateItem in class Expression
      Parameters:
      context - 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
    • call

      public SequenceIterator call(SequenceIterator[] arguments, XPathContext context) throws XPathException
      Description copied from interface: CallableExpression
      Evaluate the expression
      Specified by:
      call in interface CallableExpression
      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
