Description copied from interface: YangXPathExpression

Attempt to interpret a YangLiteralExpr referenced by this expression as a QName. This method is required to perform late value binding of the expression when the literal needs to be interpreted as a reference to an identity.

The syntax of expr is required to conform to XML QName format, as further restricted by YANG identityref Lexical Representation.

Unfortunately we do not know when a literal will need to be interpreted in this way, as that can only be known at evaluation.

Specified by:

interpretAsQName in interface YangXPathExpression

Parameters:

expr - Literal to be reinterpreted

Returns:

YangQNameExpr result of interpretation

Throws:

XPathExpressionException - when the literal cannot be interpreted as a QName
