Class ExtensionFunctionFactory
java.lang.Object
net.sf.saxon.functions.ExtensionFunctionFactory
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
This class acts as a factory for creating expressions that call Java extension functions.
A different factory may be registered with the Configuration in order to customize the
behaviour. Alternatively, this factory class can be customized by calling setExtensionFunctionClass
to nominate a subclass of ExtensionFunctionCall to be used to implement calls on extension functions.
Note that this class handles Java extension functions only; a different class, DotNetExtensionFunctionFactory, is used for .NET extensions.

makeExtensionFunctionCall
public Expression makeExtensionFunctionCall(int nameCode, Class theClass, AccessibleObject method, Expression[] arguments) Factory method to create an expression that calls a Java extension function. This is always called at XPath compile time.- Parameters:
nameCode
- the name of the function name, as represented in the name pooltheClass
- the Java class containing the extension functionmethod
- The "accessibleObject" representing a constructor, method, or field corresponding to the extension functionarguments
- Array containing the expressions supplied as arguments to the function call.- Returns:
- the constructed ExtensionFunctionCall object (a subclass might return any expression representing the extension function call).
