public Subsequence()

Method Detail

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType(TypeHierarchy th)

Determine the data type of the items in the sequence

Specified by:

getItemType in interface Expression

Overrides:

getItemType in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

th -

Returns:

the type of the argument

computeSpecialProperties

public int computeSpecialProperties()

Get the static properties of this expression (other than its type). The result is bit-significant. These properties are used for optimizations. In general, if property bit is set, it is true, but if it is unset, the value is unknown.

Overrides:

computeSpecialProperties in class SystemFunction

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Evaluate the function to return an iteration of selected nodes.

Specified by:

iterate in interface Expression

Overrides:

iterate in class ComputedExpression

Parameters:

context - supplies the context for evaluation

Returns:

a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
