## net.sf.saxon.functions
Class Collection

    java.lang.Object
      net.sf.saxon.expr.Expression
          net.sf.saxon.expr.FunctionCall
              net.sf.saxon.functions.SystemFunction
                  net.sf.saxon.functions.Collection

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, SourceLocator, Container, EvaluableItem, SequenceIterable, InstructionInfoProvider

    public class Collection

extends SystemFunction

Implement the fn:collection() function. This is responsible for calling the registered `CollectionURIResolver`. For the effect of the default system-supplied CollectionURIResolver, see `StandardCollectionURIResolver`

Constructor Detail

### Collection

    public Collection()

Method Detail

### getStaticBaseURI

    public String getStaticBaseURI()

### checkArguments

    public void checkArguments(StaticContext env)
                        throws XPathException

  Description copied from class: `SystemFunction`
  Method called during static type checking

  Overrides:
    `checkArguments` in class `SystemFunction`
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### preEvaluate

    public Expression preEvaluate(StaticContext env)

  preEvaluate: this method suppresses compile-time evaluation by doing nothing

  Overrides:
    `preEvaluate` in class `FunctionCall`

### iterate

    public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                             throws XPathException

  Iterate over the contents of the collection

  Specified by:
    `iterate` in interface `SequenceIterable`
  Overrides:
    `iterate` in class `Expression`
  Parameters:
    `context` - the dynamic context
  Returns:
    an iterator, whose items will always be nodes (typically but not necessarily document nodes)
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### getResolverResults

    public static SequenceIterator getResolverResults(SequenceIterator iter,
                                                      String baseURI,
                                                      XPathContext context,
                                                      SourceLocator locator)
