- FunctionLibrary, Serializable
public class ConstructorFunctionLibrary
extends java.lang.Object
The ConstructorFunctionLibrary represents the collection of constructor functions for atomic types. These
are provided for the built-in types such as xs:integer and xs:date, and also for user-defined atomic types.
Expression | bind(StructuredQName functionName, Expression[] arguments, StaticContext env) - Bind an extension function, given the URI and local parts of the function name,
and the list of expressions supplied as arguments.
|
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.
|
boolean | isAvailable(StructuredQName functionName, int arity) - Test whether a system function with a given name and arity is available.

bind
public Expression bind(StructuredQName functionName,
Expression[] arguments,
StaticContext env)
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.
- bind in interface FunctionLibrary
functionName
- arguments
- The expressions supplied statically in the function call. The intention is
that the static type of the arguments (obtainable via getItemType() and getCardinality() may
be used as part of the binding algorithm.env
-
- 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.
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; or if this function library "owns" the namespace containing
the function call, but no function was found.
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.
- copy in interface FunctionLibrary
- a copy of this function library. This must be an instance of the original class.
isAvailable
public boolean isAvailable(StructuredQName functionName,
int arity)
Test whether a system function with a given name and arity is available. This supports
the function-available() function in XSLT. This method may be called either at compile time
or at run time.
- isAvailable in interface FunctionLibrary
functionName
- arity
- The number of arguments. This is set to -1 in the case of the single-argument
function-available() function; in this case the method should return true if there is some
