Class FunctionLibraryList

java.lang.Object
net.sf.saxon.functions.FunctionLibraryList
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, FunctionLibrary, XQueryFunctionBinder

public class FunctionLibraryList extends Object implements FunctionLibrary, XQueryFunctionBinder
A FunctionLibraryList is a list of FunctionLibraries. It is also a FunctionLibrary in its own right. When required, it searches the list of FunctionLibraries to find the required function.

    • addFunctionLibrary

      public int addFunctionLibrary(FunctionLibrary lib)
      Add a new FunctionLibrary to the list of FunctionLibraries in this FunctionLibraryList. Note that libraries are searched in the order they are added to the list.
      Parameters:
      lib - A function library to be added to the list of function libraries to be searched.
      Returns:
      the position of the library in the list
    • get

      public FunctionLibrary get(int n)
      Get the n'th function library in the list
    • getFunctionSignature

      public SequenceType[] getFunctionSignature(StructuredQName functionName, int arity)
      Test whether a system function with a given name and arity is available, and return its signature. This supports the function-available() function in XSLT. This method may be called either at compile time or at run time.
      Specified by:
      getFunctionSignature in interface FunctionLibrary
      Parameters:
      functionName - the name of the function
      arity - The number of arguments. This is set to -1 in the case of the single-argument function-available() function
      Returns:
      if a function of this name and arity is available for calling, then the type signature of the function, as an array of sequence types in which the zeroth entry represents the return type; otherwise null
    • bind

      public Expression bind(StructuredQName functionName, Expression[] staticArgs, StaticContext env, Container container) throws XPathException
      Bind an extension 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 interface FunctionLibrary
      Parameters:
      functionName -
      staticArgs - The expressions supplied statically in arguments to the function call. The length of this array represents the arity of the function. The intention is that the static type of the arguments (obtainable via getItemType() and getCardinality() may be used as part of the binding algorithm. In some cases it may be possible for the function to be pre-evaluated at compile time, for example if these expressions are all constant values.
      env -
      container -
      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.
    • getDeclaration

      public XQueryFunction getDeclaration(StructuredQName functionName, Expression[] staticArgs)
      Get the function declaration corresponding to a given function name and arity
      Specified by:
      getDeclaration in interface XQueryFunctionBinder
      Parameters:
      functionName - the name of the function as a QName
      staticArgs - the expressions supplied as arguments in the function call (typically, we only need to know the number of arguments)
      Returns:
      the XQueryFunction if there is one, or null if not.
    • getLibraryList

      public List<FunctionLibrary> getLibraryList()
      Get the list of contained FunctionLibraries. This method allows the caller to modify the library list, for example by adding a new FunctionLibrary at a chosen position, by removing a library from the list, or by changing the order of libraries in the list. Note that such changes may violate rules in the language specifications, or assumptions made within the product.
      Returns:
      a list whose members are of class FunctionLibrary
    • 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 interface FunctionLibrary
      Returns:
      a copy of this function library. This must be an instance of the original class.
