Class ClassFunctions

java.lang.Object

org.apache.commons.jxpath.ClassFunctions

All Implemented Interfaces:

Functions

public class ClassFunctions
extends java.lang.Object
implements Functions

Extension functions provided by a Java class. Let's say we declared a ClassFunction like this:

     new ClassFunctions(Integer.class, "int")
 

We can now use XPaths like:

"int:new(3)"

Equivalent to new Integer(3)

"int:getInteger('foo')"

Equivalent to Integer.getInteger("foo")

"int:floatValue(int:new(4))"

Equivalent to new Integer(4).floatValue()

If the first argument of a method is ExpressionContext, the expression context in which the function is evaluated is passed to the method.
