getIntegerBounds
For an expression that returns an integer or a sequence of integers, get a lower and upper bound on the values of the integers that may be returned, from static analysis. The default implementation returns null, meaning "unknown" or "not applicable". Other implementations return an array of two IntegerValue objects, representing the lower and upper bounds respectively. The values UNBOUNDED_LOWER and UNBOUNDED_UPPER are used by convention to indicate that the value may be arbitrarily large. The values MAX_STRING_LENGTH and MAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH are used to indicate values limited by the size of a string or the size of a sequence.- Overrides:
getIntegerBounds
in classExpression
- Returns:
- the lower and upper bounds of integer values in the result, or null to indicate unknown or not applicable.
-
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
-
call
public SequenceIterator call(SequenceIterator[] arguments, XPathContext context) throws XPathException Description copied from interface:CallableExpression
Evaluate the expression- Specified by:
call
in interfaceCallableExpression
- Parameters:
arguments
- the values of the arguments, supplied as SequenceIteratorscontext
- 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
