/**
|
|
* <p><code>XPathFunctionResolver</code> provides access to the set of user defined <code>XPathFunction</code>s.</p>
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>XPath functions are resolved by name and arity.
|
|
* The resolver is not needed for XPath built-in functions and the resolver
|
|
* <strong><em>cannot</em></strong> be used to override those functions.</p>
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>In particular, the resolver is only called for functions in an another
|
|
* namespace (functions with an explicit prefix). This means that you cannot
|
|
* use the <code>XPathFunctionResolver</code> to implement specifications
|
|
* like <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/">XML-Signature Syntax
|
|
* and Processing</a> which extend the function library of XPath 1.0 in the
|
|
* same namespace. This is a consequence of the design of the resolver.</p>
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>If you wish to implement additional built-in functions, you will have to
|
|
* extend the underlying implementation directly.</p>
