Class XPathFunctionContext

java.lang.Object

org.jaxen.SimpleFunctionContext

org.jaxen.XPathFunctionContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

FunctionContext

public class XPathFunctionContext
extends SimpleFunctionContext

A FunctionContext implementing the core XPath function library, plus Jaxen extensions.

The core XPath function library is provided through this implementation of FunctionContext. Additionally, extension functions have been provided, as enumerated below.

This class is re-entrant and thread-safe. If using the default instance, it is inadvisable to call SimpleFunctionContext.registerFunction(String, String, Function) as that will extend the global function context, affecting other users.

Extension functions:

• evaluate(..)
• upper-case(..)
• lower-case(..)
• ends-with(..)
