Class StylesheetFunctionLibrary

public class StylesheetFunctionLibrary extends Object implements FunctionLibrary

A StylesheetFunctionLibrary contains functions defined by the user in a stylesheet. This library is used at compile time only, as it contains references to the actual XSLFunction objects. Binding to a function in this library registers the function call on a fix-up list to be notified when the actual compiled function becomes available.
Constructor Summary
StylesheetFunctionLibrary(XSLStylesheet sheet, boolean overriding)
Create a FunctionLibrary that provides access to stylesheet functions
Method Summary
Expressionbind(int nameCode, String uri, String local, Expression[] staticArgs)
Bind a function, given the URI and local parts of the function name, and the list of expressions supplied as arguments.
FunctionLibrarycopy()
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.
booleanisAvailable(int fingerprint, String uri, String local, int arity)
Test whether a Saxon function with a given name and arity is available.

Constructor Detail

StylesheetFunctionLibrary

public StylesheetFunctionLibrary(XSLStylesheet sheet, boolean overriding)
Create a FunctionLibrary that provides access to stylesheet functions

Parameters: sheet The XSLStylesheet element of the principal stylesheet module overriding set to true if this library is to contain functions specifying override="yes", or to false if it is to contain functions specifying override="no". (XSLT uses two instances of this class, one for overriding functions and one for non-overriding functions.)

Method Detail

bind

public Expression bind(int nameCode, String uri, String local, Expression[] staticArgs)
Bind a 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.

Parameters: nameCode The namepool nameCode of the function name. The uri and local name are also supplied (redundantly) to avoid fetching them from the name pool. uri The URI of the function name local The local part of the function name staticArgs 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.

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: net.sf.saxon.trans.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.

Returns: a copy of this function library. This must be an instance of the original class.

isAvailable

public boolean isAvailable(int fingerprint, String uri, String local, int arity)
Test whether a Saxon function with a given name and arity is available. This supports the function-available() function in XSLT.

Parameters: uri The URI of the function name local The local part of the function name 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 matching extension function, regardless of its arity.
