Constructor Detail

BlockEventIterator

public BlockEventIterator(Expression[] children,
                  XPathContext context)

Create an EventIterator over the results of evaluating a Block

Parameters:

children - the sequence of instructions comprising the Block

context - the XPath dynamic context

Method Detail

next

public PullEvent next()
               throws XPathException

Get the next item in the sequence.

Specified by:

next in interface EventIterator

Returns:

the next item, or null if there are no more items.

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs retrieving the next item

isFlatSequence

public boolean isFlatSequence()

Determine whether the EventIterator returns a flat sequence of events, or whether it can return nested event iterators

Specified by:

isFlatSequence in interface EventIterator

Returns:

true if the next() method is guaranteed never to return an EventIterator
