Method Detail

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext context)
                         throws XPathException

Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation handles iteration for expressions that return singleton values: for non-singleton expressions, the subclass must provide its own implementation.

Specified by:

iterate in interface SequenceIterable

Overrides:

iterate in class Expression

Parameters:

context - supplies the context for evaluation

Returns:

a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression
