Class OrderByClausePush

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.saxon.expr.flwor.TuplePush
      net.sf.saxon.expr.flwor.OrderByClausePush

All Implemented Interfaces:

Sortable

public class OrderByClausePush
extends TuplePush
implements Sortable

Represents the tuple stream delivered by an "order by" clause. This sorts the tuple stream supplied as its input, and outputs the same tuples but in sorted order.

Field Summary

protected AtomicComparer[]

comparers

Constructor Summary

OrderByClausePush(TuplePush destination, TupleExpression tupleExpr, OrderByClause orderBy, XPathContext context)

Method Summary

void	close() Close the tuple stream, indicating that no more tuples will be delivered
int	compare(int a, int b) Compare two objects within this Sortable, identified by their position.
void	processTuple(XPathContext context) Process the next tuple.
void	swap(int a, int b) Swap two objects within this Sortable, identified by their position.

public void processTuple(XPathContext context)
                  throws XPathException

Process the next tuple.

Specified by:

processTuple in class TuplePush

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

compare

public int compare(int a,
                   int b)

Compare two objects within this Sortable, identified by their position.

Specified by:

compare in interface Sortable

Returns:

<0 if obj[a]0 if obj[a]>obj[b]

swap

public void swap(int a,
                 int b)

Swap two objects within this Sortable, identified by their position.

Specified by:

swap in interface Sortable

close

public void close()
           throws XPathException

Close the tuple stream, indicating that no more tuples will be delivered

Overrides:

close in class TuplePush
