Evaluate the compiled XPath expression in the specified context and return the result as the specified type.
See "Evaluation of XPath Expressions" section of JAXP 1.3 spec for context item evaluation, variable, function and QName resolution and return type conversion.
If returnType
is not one of the types defined
in {@link XPathConstants},
then an IllegalArgumentException
is thrown.
If a null
value is provided for
item
, an empty document will be used for the
context.
If returnType
is null
, then a
NullPointerException
is thrown.
Parameters: item The starting context (node or node list, for example). returnType The desired return type.
Returns: The Object
that is the result of evaluating the
expression and converting the result to
returnType
.
Throws: XPathExpressionException If the expression cannot be evaluated. IllegalArgumentException If returnType
is not one
of the types defined in {@link XPathConstants}. NullPointerException If returnType
is
null
.
Evaluate the compiled XPath expression in the specified context and
return the result as a String
.
This method calls {@link #evaluate(Object item, QName returnType)}
with a returnType
of
{@link XPathConstants#STRING}.
See "Evaluation of XPath Expressions" section of JAXP 1.3 spec for context item evaluation, variable, function and QName resolution and return type conversion.
If a null
value is provided for
item
, an empty document will be used for the
context.
Parameters: item The starting context (node or node list, for example).
Returns: The String
that is the result of evaluating the
expression and converting the result to a
String
.
Throws: XPathExpressionException If the expression cannot be evaluated.
Evaluate the compiled XPath expression in the context of the
specified InputSource
and return the result as the
specified type.
This method builds a data model for the {@link InputSource} and calls {@link #evaluate(Object item, QName returnType)} on the resulting document object.
See "Evaluation of XPath Expressions" section of JAXP 1.3 spec for context item evaluation, variable, function and QName resolution and return type conversion.
If returnType
is not one of the types defined in
{@link XPathConstants},
then an IllegalArgumentException
is thrown.
If source
or returnType
is null
,
then a NullPointerException
is thrown.
Parameters: source The InputSource
of the document to evaluate
over. returnType The desired return type.
Returns: The Object
that is the result of evaluating the
expression and converting the result to
returnType
.
Throws: XPathExpressionException If the expression cannot be evaluated. IllegalArgumentException If returnType
is not one
of the types defined in {@link XPathConstants}. NullPointerException If source
or
returnType
is null
.
Evaluate the compiled XPath expression in the context of the specified InputSource
and return the result as a
String
.
This method calls {@link #evaluate(InputSource source, QName returnType)} with a returnType
of
{@link XPathConstants#STRING}.
See "Evaluation of XPath Expressions" section of JAXP 1.3 spec for context item evaluation, variable, function and QName resolution and return type conversion.
If source
is null
, then a NullPointerException
is thrown.
Parameters: source The InputSource
of the document to evaluate over.
Returns: The String
that is the result of evaluating the expression and converting the result to a
String
.
Throws: XPathExpressionException If the expression cannot be evaluated. NullPointerException If source
is null
.
