ExtensionHandlerJavaPackage (Xalan-Java 2.7.1)

Represents an extension namespace for XPath that handles java packages that may be fully or partially specified. It is recommended that the class URI be of one of the following forms:

   xalan://partial.class.name
   xalan://
   http://xml.apache.org/xalan/java (which is the same as xalan://)

However, we do not enforce this. If the class name contains a a /, we only use the part to the right of the rightmost slash. In addition, we ignore any "class:" prefix. Provides functions to test a function's existence and call a function. Also provides functions to test an element's existence and call an element.

Constructor Detail

ExtensionHandlerJavaPackage

Construct a new extension namespace handler given all the information needed.

Parameters: namespaceUri the extension namespace URI that I'm implementing scriptLang language of code implementing the extension className the beginning of the class name of the class. This should be followed by a dot (.)

Method Detail

callFunction

Process a call to a function in the package java namespace. There are three possible types of calls:

   Constructor:
     packagens:class.name.new(arg1, arg2, ...)

   Static method:
     packagens:class.name.method(arg1, arg2, ...)

   Instance method:
     packagens:method(obj, arg1, arg2, ...)

We use the following rules to determine the type of call made:

If the function name ends with a ".new", call the best constructor for class whose name is formed by concatenating the value specified on the namespace with the value specified in the function invocation before ".new".
If the function name contains a period, call the best static method "method" in the class whose name is formed by concatenating the value specified on the namespace with the value specified in the function invocation.
Otherwise, call the best instance method "method" in the class whose name is formed by concatenating the value specified on the namespace with the value specified in the function invocation. Note that a static method of the same name will not be called in the current implementation. This module does not verify that the obj argument is a member of the package namespace.

Parameters: 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.

Returns: the return value of the function evaluation.

Throws: TransformerException if parsing trouble

callFunction

Process a call to an XPath extension function

Parameters: extFunction The XPath extension function args The arguments of the function call. exprContext The context in which this expression is being executed.

Returns: the return value of the function evaluation.

Throws: TransformerException

isElementAvailable

Tests whether a certain element name is known within this namespace. Looks for a method with the appropriate name and signature. This method examines both static and instance methods.

Parameters: element name of the element being tested

Returns: true if its known, false if not.

isFunctionAvailable

Tests whether a certain function name is known within this namespace. Since this is for a package, we concatenate the package name used when this handler was created and the function name specified in the argument. There is no information regarding the arguments to the function call or whether the method implementing the function is a static method or an instance method.

Parameters: function name of the function being tested

Returns: true if its known, false if not.

processElement

Process a call to this extension namespace via an element. As a side effect, the results are sent to the TransformerImpl's result tree. For this namespace, only static element methods are currently supported. If instance methods are needed, please let us know your requirements.

Parameters: 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 element call.

Throws: IOException if loading trouble TransformerException if parsing trouble
