Method Detail

canTraverseOutsideSubtree

public boolean canTraverseOutsideSubtree()

Tell if this expression or it's subexpressions can traverse outside the current subtree.

Returns:

true if traversal outside the context node's subtree can occur.

Overrides:

canTraverseOutsideSubtree in class Expression

setLeftRight

public void setLeftRight(Expression l,
                         Expression r)

Set the left and right operand expressions for this operation.

Parameters:

l - The left expression operand.

r - The right expression operand.

execute

public XObject execute(XPathContext xctxt)
                throws TransformerException

Execute a binary operation by calling execute on each of the operands, and then calling the operate method on the derived class.

Parameters:

xctxt - The runtime execution context.

Returns:

The XObject result of the operation.

Throws:

TransformerException -

Overrides:

execute in class Expression

operate

public XObject operate(XObject left,
                       XObject right)
                throws TransformerException

Apply the operation to two operands, and return the result.

Parameters:

left - non-null reference to the evaluated left operand.

right - non-null reference to the evaluated right operand.

Returns:

non-null reference to the XObject that represents the result of the operation.

Throws:

TransformerException -
