  Specified by:
    `getSystemId` in interface `StaticContext`

### getLineNumber

    public int getLineNumber()

  Get the line number of the expression within its containing entity Returns -1 if no line number is available

  Specified by:
    `getLineNumber` in interface `StaticContext`

### getBaseURI

    public java.lang.String getBaseURI()

  Get the Base URI of the element containing the expression, for resolving any relative URI's used in the expression. Used by the document() function.

  Specified by:
    `getBaseURI` in interface `StaticContext`

### getURIForPrefix

    public java.lang.String getURIForPrefix(java.lang.String prefix)
                                     throws XPathException

  Get the URI for a prefix, using this Element as the context for namespace resolution. The default namespace will not be used when the prefix is empty.

  Specified by:
    `getURIForPrefix` in interface `StaticContext`
  Parameters:
    `prefix` - The prefix
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if the prefix is not declared

### getNamespaceResolver

    public NamespaceResolver getNamespaceResolver()

  Get a copy of the Namespace Context

  Specified by:
    `getNamespaceResolver` in interface `StaticContext`
  Returns:
    a namespace resolver.

### getFingerprint

    public int getFingerprint(java.lang.String qname,
                              boolean useDefault)

  Get a fingerprint for a name, using this as the context for namespace resolution

  Parameters:
    `qname` - The name as written, in the form "[prefix:]localname"
    `useDefault` - Defines the action when there is no prefix. If true, use the default namespace URI (as for element names). If false, use no namespace URI (as for attribute names).
  Returns:
    -1 if the name is not already present in the name pool
    `XPathException`
