Method Detail

exec

public Tuple exec(Tuple input)
           throws IOException

input should contain: 1) xml 2) xpath 3) optional cache xml doc flag 4) optional ignore namespace flag The optional fourth parameter (IGNORE_NAMESPACE), if set true will remove the namespace from xPath For example xpath /html:body/html:div will be considered as /body/div Usage: 1) XPathAll(xml, xpath) 2) XPathAll(xml, xpath, false) 3) XPathAll(xml, xpath, false, false)

Specified by:

exec in class EvalFunc<Tuple>

Parameters:

input - 1st element should to be the xml 2nd element should be the xpath 3rd optional boolean cache flag (default true) 4th optional boolean ignore namespace flag(default true) This UDF will cache the last xml document. This is helpful when multiple consecutive xpathAll calls are made for the same xml document. Caching can be turned off to ensure that the UDF's recreates the internal javax.xml.xpath.XPathAll for every call This UDF will also support ignoring the namespace in the xml tags. This will help to search xpath items by ignoring its namespace. Ignoring of the namespace can be turned off for special cases using a fourth argument in the UDF.

Returns:

Tuple result or null if no match

Throws:

IOException

getArgToFuncMapping

public List<FuncSpec> getArgToFuncMapping()
                                   throws FrontendException

Returns argument schemas of the UDF.

Overrides:

getArgToFuncMapping in class EvalFunc<Tuple>

Returns:

List

Throws:

FrontendException
