Class MemoSequence

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Sequence

    public class MemoSequence
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements Sequence
    A Sequence implementation that represents a lazy evaluation of a supplied iterator. Items are read from the base iterator only when they are first required, and are then remembered within the local storage of the MemoSequence, which eventually (if the sequence is read to the end) contains the entire value.

      • setLearningEvaluator

        public void setLearningEvaluator​(LearningEvaluator caller,
                                         int serialNumber)
      • head

        public Item head()
                  throws XPathException
        Description copied from interface: Sequence
        Get the first item in the sequence.
        Specified by:
        head in interface Sequence
        Returns:
        the first item in the sequence if there is one, or null if the sequence is empty
        Throws:
        XPathException - in the situation where the sequence is evaluated lazily, and evaluation of the first item causes a dynamic error.
      • itemAt

        public Item itemAt​(int n)
                    throws XPathException
        Get the Nth item in the sequence (0-based), reading new items into the internal reservoir if necessary
        Parameters:
        n - the index of the required item
        Returns:
        the Nth item if it exists, or null otherwise
        Throws:
        XPathException - if the input sequence cannot be read
