Field Detail

STATIC_ONLY

public static final int STATIC_ONLY
Specifies a search for static methods only.

INSTANCE_ONLY

public static final int INSTANCE_ONLY
Specifies a search for instance methods only.

STATIC_AND_INSTANCE

public static final int STATIC_AND_INSTANCE
Specifies a search for both static and instance methods.

Convert a set of parameters based on a set of paramTypes.
Parameters:
argsIn - An array of XSLT/XPath arguments.
argsOut - An array of the exact size as argsIn, which will be populated with converted arguments.
paramTypes - An array of class objects, of the exact same size as argsIn and argsOut.

scoreMatch

public static int scoreMatch(java.lang.Class[] javaParamTypes,
                             int javaParamsStart,
                             java.lang.Object[] xsltArgs,
                             int score)
Score the conversion of a set of XSLT arguments to a given set of Java parameters. If any invocations of this function for a method with the same name return the same positive value, then a conflict has occured, and an error should be signaled.
Parameters:
javaParamTypes - Must be filled with valid class names, and of the same length as xsltArgs.
xsltArgs - Must be filled with valid object instances, and of the same length as javeParamTypes.
Returns:
-1 for no allowed conversion, or a positive score that is closer to zero for more preferred, or further from zero for less preferred.
