    public class CurrentDateTime

extends SystemFunction

This class implements the XPath 2.0 functions current-date(), current-time(), and current-dateTime(), as well as the function implicit-timezone(). The value that is required is inferred from the type of result required.

Constructor Detail

### CurrentDateTime

    public CurrentDateTime()

Method Detail

### preEvaluate

    public Expression preEvaluate(StaticContext env)

  preEvaluate: this method suppresses compile-time evaluation by doing nothing (because the value of the expression depends on the runtime context)

  Overrides:
    `preEvaluate` in class `FunctionCall`

### getIntrinsicDependencies

    public int getIntrinsicDependencies()

  Determine the dependencies

  Overrides:
    `getIntrinsicDependencies` in class `Expression`
  Returns:
    a set of bit-significant flags identifying the "intrinsic" dependencies. The flags are documented in class net.sf.saxon.value.StaticProperty

### evaluateItem

    public Item evaluateItem(XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException

  Evaluate in a general context

  Specified by:
    `evaluateItem` in interface `EvaluableItem`
  Overrides:
    `evaluateItem` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `context` - The context in which the expression is to be evaluated
  Returns:
    the node or atomic value that results from evaluating the expression; or null to indicate that the result is an empty sequence
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

### getImplicitTimezone

    public static DayTimeDurationValue getImplicitTimezone(XPathContext context)
                                                    throws XPathException

  Get the implicit timezone

  Throws:
    `XPathException`
