Interface Function

All Known Implementing Classes:

ConstructorFunction, MethodFunction

public interface Function

Extension function interface. Extension functions are grouped into Functions objects, which are installed on JXPathContexts using the JXPathContext.setFunctions() call.

The Function interface can be implemented directly. However, most of the time JXPath's built-in implementations should suffice. See ClassFunctions and PackageFunctions.
