Class ErrorIterator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable, SequenceIterator
    public class ErrorIterator
extends java.lang.Object
implements SequenceIterator
    A SequenceIterator that throws an exception as soon as its next() method is called. Used when the method that returns the iterator isn't allowed to throw a checked exception itself.

      • next

        public Item next()
          throws XPathException
        Get the next item in the sequence. This method changes the state of the iterator, in particular it affects the result of subsequent calls of position() and current().
        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

      • 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.

        For example, the iterator returned by the unparsed-text-lines() function has a close() method that causes the underlying input stream to be closed, whether or not the file has been read to completion.

        Closing an iterator is important 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.
