Class AxisIteratorOverSequence<T extends NodeInfo>

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.saxon.tree.iter.AxisIteratorOverSequence<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

SequenceIterator<T>, AxisIterator<T>, UnfailingIterator<T>

public class AxisIteratorOverSequence<T extends NodeInfo>
extends Object
implements AxisIterator<T>

This class wraps any SequenceIterator as an AxisIterator. It must only be used if it is known that the underlying SequenceIterator will always return nodes, and will never throw an exception.

Constructor Detail

AxisIteratorOverSequence

public AxisIteratorOverSequence(SequenceIterator<T> base)

Method Detail

next

public T next()

Description copied from interface: UnfailingIterator

Get the next item in the sequence.

Specified by:

next in interface SequenceIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Specified by:

next in interface AxisIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Specified by:

next in interface UnfailingIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Returns:

the next Item. If there are no more nodes, return null.

getAnother

public AxisIterator<T> getAnother()

Description copied from interface: UnfailingIterator

Get another iterator over the same sequence of items, positioned at the start of the sequence. It must be possible to call this method at any time, whether none, some, or all of the items in the original iterator have been read. The method is non-destructive: it does not change the state of the original iterator.

Specified by:

getAnother in interface SequenceIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Specified by:

getAnother in interface AxisIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Specified by:

getAnother in interface UnfailingIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Returns:

a new iterator over the same sequence

moveNext

public boolean moveNext()

Move to the next node, without returning it. Returns true if there is a next node, false if the end of the sequence has been reached. After calling this method, the current node may be retrieved using the current() function.

Specified by:

moveNext in interface AxisIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Returns:

true if there is a next node, false if the end of the sequence has been reached

current

public T current()

Get the current node in the sequence.

Specified by:

current in interface SequenceIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Specified by:

current in interface AxisIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Specified by:

current in interface UnfailingIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Returns:

the node returned by the most recent call on next()

position

public final int position()

Get the current position

Specified by:

position in interface SequenceIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Specified by:

position in interface UnfailingIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Returns:

the position of the most recent node returned by next()

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<T extends NodeInfo>

iterateAxis

public AxisIterator iterateAxis(byte axis,
                                NodeTest test)

Return an iterator over an axis, starting at the current node.

Specified by:

iterateAxis in interface AxisIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Parameters:

axis - the axis to iterate over, using a constant such as Axis.CHILD

test - a predicate to apply to the nodes before returning them.

Returns:

an iterator over an axis, starting at the current node

atomize

public Value atomize()
              throws XPathException

Return the atomized value of the current node.

Specified by:

atomize in interface AxisIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Returns:

the atomized value.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if there is no current node

XPathException - if the current node cannot be atomized, for example because it is an element node with element-only content.

getStringValue

public CharSequence getStringValue()

Return the string value of the current node.

Specified by:

getStringValue in interface AxisIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

Returns:

the string value, as an instance of CharSequence.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if there is no current node

getProperties

public int getProperties()

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

Specified by:

getProperties in interface SequenceIterator<T extends NodeInfo>

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.
