, or XPathNamespace
* node.If the context node is a Text
or a
* CDATASection
, then the context is interpreted as the
* whole logical text node as seen by XPath, unless the node is empty
* in which case it may not serve as the XPath context.
* @param type If a specific type
is specified, then the
* result will be coerced to return the specified type relying on
* XPath conversions and fail if the desired coercion is not possible.
* This must be one of the type codes of XPathResult
.
* @param result The result
specifies a specific result
* object which may be reused and returned by this method. If this is
* specified as null
or the implementation does not reuse
* the specified result, a new result object will be constructed and
* returned.For XPath 1.0 results, this object will be of type
* XPathResult
.
* @return The result of the evaluation of the XPath expression.For XPath
* 1.0 results, this object will be of type XPathResult
.
* @exception XPathException
* TYPE_ERR: Raised if the result cannot be converted to return the
