A LastItemExpression returns the last item in the sequence returned by a given
base expression. The evaluation strategy is to read the input sequence with a one-item lookahead.

Method Details
-
copy
Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.- Specified by:
copy
in classExpression
- Returns:
- the copy of the original expression
-
evaluateItem
Evaluate the expression- Overrides:
evaluateItem
in classExpression
- 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
-
getExpressionName
Description copied from class:Expression
Get a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user.- Overrides:
getExpressionName
in classExpression
- Returns:
- a name identifying the kind of expression, in terms meaningful to a user. The name will always be in the form of a lexical XML QName, and should match the name used in explain() output displaying the expression.
