callFunction
public abstract Object callFunction(String funcName,
Vector args,
Object methodKey,
ExpressionContext exprContext)
throws TransformerException
Process a call to a function.
funcName
- Function name.args
- The arguments of the function call.methodKey
- A key that uniquely identifies this class and method call.exprContext
- The context in which this expression is being executed.
- the return value of the function evaluation.
callFunction
public abstract Object callFunction(FuncExtFunction extFunction,
Vector args,
ExpressionContext exprContext)
throws TransformerException
Process a call to a function.
extFunction
- The XPath extension function.args
- The arguments of the function call.exprContext
- The context in which this expression is being executed.
- the return value of the function evaluation.
isElementAvailable
public abstract boolean isElementAvailable(String element)
Tests whether a certain element name is known within this namespace.
element
- Name of element to check
- true if its known, false if not.
isFunctionAvailable
public abstract boolean isFunctionAvailable(String function)
Tests whether a certain function name is known within this namespace.
function
- name of the function being tested
- true if its known, false if not.
processElement
public abstract void processElement(String localPart,
ElemTemplateElement element,
TransformerImpl transformer,
Stylesheet stylesheetTree,
Object methodKey)
throws TransformerException,
IOException
Process a call to this extension namespace via an element. As a side
effect, the results are sent to the TransformerImpl's result tree.
localPart
- Element name's local part.element
- The extension element being processed.transformer
- Handle to TransformerImpl.stylesheetTree
- The compiled stylesheet tree.methodKey
- A key that uniquely identifies this class and method call.
