Method Detail

setSequence

public final void setSequence(SequenceIterator base,
                              XPathContext context)

Set the base iterator and context

Parameters:

base - the iterator over the sequence to be filtered

context - the context in which the (outer) filter expression is evaluated

next

public final Item next()
                throws XPathException

Get the next item if there is one

Specified by:

next in interface SequenceIterator

Returns:

the next item, or null if there are no more items. Once a call on next() has returned null, no further calls should be made. The preferred action for an iterator if subsequent calls on next() are made is to return null again, and all implementations within Saxon follow this rule.

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs retrieving the next item

matches

protected abstract boolean matches()
                            throws XPathException

Determine whether the context item matches the filter predicate

Returns:

true if the context item matches

Throws:

XPathException

current

public Item current()

Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator

Get the current value in the sequence (the one returned by the most recent call on next()). This will be null before the first call of next(). This method does not change the state of the iterator.

Specified by:

current in interface SequenceIterator

Returns:

the current item, the one most recently returned by a call on next(). Returns null if next() has not been called, or if the end of the sequence has been reached.

position

public int position()

Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator

Get the current position. This will usually be zero before the first call on next(), otherwise it will be the number of times that next() has been called. Once next() has returned null, the preferred action is for subsequent calls on position() to return -1, but not all existing implementations follow this practice. (In particular, the EmptyIterator is stateless, and always returns 0 as the value of position(), whether or not next() has been called.)

This method does not change the state of the iterator.

Specified by:

position in interface SequenceIterator

Returns:

the current position, the position of the item returned by the most recent call of next(). This is 1 after next() has been successfully called once, 2 after it has been called twice, and so on. If next() has never been called, the method returns zero. If the end of the sequence has been reached, the value returned will always be <= 0; the preferred value is -1.

close

public void close()

Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator

Close the iterator. This indicates to the supplier of the data that the client does not require any more items to be delivered by the iterator. This may enable the supplier to release resources. After calling close(), no further calls on the iterator should be made; if further calls are made, the effect of such calls is undefined.

(Currently, closing an iterator is important only when the data is being "pushed" in another thread. Closing the iterator terminates that thread and means that it needs to do no additional work. Indeed, failing to close the iterator may cause the push thread to hang waiting for the buffer to be emptied.)

Specified by:

close in interface SequenceIterator

getAnother

public SequenceIterator getAnother()
                            throws XPathException

Get another iterator to return the same nodes

Specified by:

getAnother in interface SequenceIterator

Returns:

a SequenceIterator that iterates over the same items, positioned before the first item

Throws:

XPathException - if any error occurs

getProperties

public int getProperties()

Get properties of this iterator, as a bit-significant integer.

Specified by:

getProperties in interface SequenceIterator

Returns:

the properties of this iterator. This will be some combination of properties such as SequenceIterator.GROUNDED, SequenceIterator.LAST_POSITION_FINDER, and SequenceIterator.LOOKAHEAD. It is always acceptable to return the value zero, indicating that there are no known special properties. It is acceptable for the properties of the iterator to change depending on its state.
