## org.apache.commons.jxpath
Interface ExpressionContext

All Known Implementing Classes:
  EvalContext

public interface ExpressionContext

If an extenstion function has an argument of type ExpressionContext, it can gain access to the current node of an XPath expression context.

Example:

>      public class MyExtenstionFunctions {
>         public static String objectType(ExpressionContext context){
>            Object value = context.getContextNodePointer().getValue();
>            if (value == null){
>                return "null";
>            }
>            return value.getClass().getName();
>         }
>      }

You can then register this extension function using a `ClassFunctions` object and call it like this:

>        "/descendent-or-self::node()[ns:objectType() = 'java.util.Date']"

This expression will find all nodes of the graph that are dates.

Method Summary
`java.util.List` | `getContextNodeList()` Get the current context node list.
`Pointer` | `getContextNodePointer()` Get the current context node.
`JXPathContext` | `getJXPathContext()` Get the JXPathContext in which this function is being evaluated.
`int` | `getPosition()` Returns the current context position.

Method Detail

### getJXPathContext

    public JXPathContext getJXPathContext()

  Get the JXPathContext in which this function is being evaluated.
  Returns:
    A list representing the current context nodes.

### getContextNodePointer

    public Pointer getContextNodePointer()

  Get the current context node.
  Returns:
    The current context node pointer.

### getContextNodeList

    public java.util.List getContextNodeList()

  Get the current context node list. Each element of the list is a Pointer.
  Returns:
    A list representing the current context nodes.

### getPosition

    public int getPosition()

  Returns the current context position.
