```
public boolean absolute(int itempos)
                 throws XQException
```
    Description copied from interface: XQSequence
    
    Moves the XQSequence's position to the given item number in this object. If the item number is positive, the XQSequence moves to the given item number with respect to the beginning of the XQSequence.
    The first item is item 1, the second is item 2, and so on.
    If the given item number is negative, the XQSequence positions itself on an absolute item position with respect to the end of the sequence.
    For example, calling the method absolute(-1) positions the XQSequence on the last item; calling the method absolute(-2) moves the XQSequence to the next-to-last item, and so on. absolute(0) will position the sequence before the first item.
    
    An attempt to position the sequence beyond the first/last item set leaves the current position to be before the first item or after the last item.
    
    Calling this method on an empty sequence will return false.
    
    Specified by:
    
    absolute in interface XQSequence
    
    Parameters:
    
    itempos - the item position to jump to
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the current position is within the sequence, false otherwise
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) the sequence is forward only, or (2) the sequence is in a closed state
  - afterLast
```
public void afterLast()
               throws XQException
```
    Description copied from interface: XQSequence
    
    Move to the position after the last item.
    
    Specified by:
    
    afterLast in interface XQSequence
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) the sequence is forward only, or (2) the sequence is in a closed state
  - beforeFirst
```
public void beforeFirst()
                 throws XQException
```
    Description copied from interface: XQSequence
    
    Moves to the position before the first item.
    
    Specified by:
    
    beforeFirst in interface XQSequence
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) the sequence is forward only, or (2) the sequence is in a closed state
  - count
```
public int count()
          throws XQException
```
    Description copied from interface: XQSequence
    
    Returns a number indicating the number of items in the sequence.
    
    Specified by:
    
    count in interface XQSequence
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of items in this sequence
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) the sequence is forward-only, or (2) the sequence is closed
  - first
```
public boolean first()
              throws XQException
```
    Description copied from interface: XQSequence
    
    Moves to the first item in the sequence. The method returns true, if it was able to move to the first item in the sequence false, otherwise. Calling this method on an empty sequence will return false.
    
    Specified by:
    
    first in interface XQSequence
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the sequence was positioned on the first item, false otherwise
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) the sequence is forward only, or (2) the sequence is in a closed state
  - getItem
```
public XQItem getItem()
               throws XQException
```
    Description copied from interface: XQSequence
    
    Get the current item as an immutable XQItem object. In case of an XQResultSequence, the item is an XQResultItem. In the case of forward only sequences, this method or any other get or write method may only be called once on the curent item.
    The XQItem object is dependent on the sequence from which it was created and is only valid for the duration of XQSequence lifetime. Thus, the XQSequence is closed, this XQItem object will be implicitly closed and it can no longer be used.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getItem in interface XQSequence
    
    Returns:
    
    an XQItem object
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) there are errors retrieving the item, or (2) in the case of a forward only sequence, a get or write method has already been invoked on the current item.
  - getSaxonItem
```
public Item getSaxonItem()
```
    Description copied from interface: SaxonXQItemAccessor
    
    Get the current item, in the form of a Saxon Item object. This allows access to non-XQJ methods to manipulate the item, which will not necessarily be stable from release to release. The resulting Item will be an instance of either NodeInfo or AtomicValue.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSaxonItem in interface SaxonXQItemAccessor
    
    Returns:
    
    the current item
  - getPosition
```
public int getPosition()
                throws XQException
```
    Description copied from interface: XQSequence
    
    Gets the current cursor position.
    0 indicates that the position is before the first item and count() + 1 indicates position after the last item. A specific position indicates that the cursor is positioned on the item at that position. Use the isOnItem method to verify if the cursor is positioned on the item.
    Calling this method on an empty sequence will return 0.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPosition in interface XQSequence
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) the sequence is forward-only, or (2) the sequence is closed
  - getSequenceAsStream
```
public javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader getSequenceAsStream()
                                                     throws XQException
```
    Description copied from interface: XQSequence
    
    Read the entire sequence starting from the current position as an XMLStreamReader object, as described in Section 12.1 Serializing an XDM instance into a StAX event stream (XMLStreamReader), XQuery API for Java (XQJ) 1.0.
    Note that the serialization process might fail, in which case a XQException is thrown.
    
    While the stream is being read, the application MUST NOT do any other concurrent operations on the sequence. The operation on the stream is undefined if the underlying sequence position or state is changed by concurrent operations.
    
    After all items are written to the stream, the current position of the cursor is set to point after the last item.
    
    Also, in the case of forward only sequences, this method may only be called if the current item has not yet been read through any of the get or write methods.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSequenceAsStream in interface XQSequence
    
    Returns:
    
    an XML reader object as XMLStreamReader
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) there are errors accessing any of the items in the sequence, (2) the sequence is in a closed state, (3) in the case of a forward only sequence, a get or write method has already been invoked on the current item, or (4) in case of an error during serialization of the sequence into a StAX event stream as defined in Section 12.1 Serializing an XDM instance into a StAX event stream (XMLStreamReader), XQuery API for Java (XQJ) 1.0
  - getSequenceAsString
```
public java.lang.String getSequenceAsString(java.util.Properties props)
                                     throws XQException
```
    Description copied from interface: XQSequence
    
    Serializes the sequence starting from the current position to a String according to the XSLT 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 serialization.
    Serialization parameters, which influence how serialization is performed, can be specified. Refer to the XSLT 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 serialization and Section 12 Serialization, XQuery API for Java (XQJ) 1.0 for more information.
    Reading the sequence during the serialization process performs implicit next operations to read the items.
    After all items are written to the stream, the current position of the cursor is set to point after the last item.
    Also, in the case of forward only sequences, this method may only be called if the current item has not yet been read through any of the get or write methods.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSequenceAsString in interface XQSequence
    
    Parameters:
    
    props - specifies the serialization parameters, null is considered equivalent to an empty Properties object
    
    Returns:
    
    the serialized representation of the sequence
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) there are errors accessing the items in the sequence, (2) there are errors during serialization, (3) the sequence is in a closed state, or (4) in the case of a forward only sequence, a get or write method has already been invoked on the current item

    The specified org.xml.sax.ContentHandler can optionally implement the org.xml.sax.LexicalHandler interface. An implementation must check if the specified ContentHandler implements LexicalHandler. If the handler is a LexicalHandler comment nodes are reported, otherwise they will be silently ignored.

If the item is of a node kind other than document node, then the returned URI is implementation-defined.
    On a forward only sequence this method can be called independent of any other get or write method. It will not raise an error if such method has been called already, nor will it affect subsequent invocations of any other get or write method on the current item.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getNodeUri in interface XQItemAccessor
    
    Returns:

  - instanceOf
```
public boolean instanceOf(XQItemType type)
                   throws XQException
```
    Description copied from interface: XQItemAccessor
    Checks if the item "matches" an item type, as defined in 2.5.4.2 Matching an Item Type and an Item, XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language.
    You can use this method to first check the type of the result before calling the specific get methods.
    
    Example -
    ... XQItemType strType = conn.createAtomicType(XQItemType.XQBASETYPE_STRING); XQItemType nodeType = conn.createNodeType(); XQSequence result = preparedExpr.executeQuery(); while (result.next()) { // Generic check for node.. if (result.instanceOf(nodeType)) org.w3.dom.Node node = result.getNode(); else if (result.instanceOf(strType)) String str = result.getAtomicValue(); }
    
    If either the type of the XQItemAccessor or the input XQItemType is not a built-in type, then this method is allowed to raise exception if it can NOT determine the instanceOf relationship due to the lack of the access of the XML schema that defines the user defined schema types if the XQMetaData.isUserDefinedXMLSchemaTypeSupported() method returns false.
    Otherwise, this method must determine if the type of the XQItemAccessor is an instance of the input XQItemType. Note even if isUserDefinedXMLSchemaTypeSupported() returns false, an XQJ implementation may still be able to determine the instanceOf relationship for certain cases involving user defined schema type. For example, if the type of an XQItemAccessor is of mySchema:hatSize sequence type and the input parameter XQItemType is of item() sequence type, the return value for instanceOf relationship should always be true even though the XQJ implementation does not know the precise type information of mySchema:hatSize type defined in XML schema 'mySchema'.
    Specified by:
    
    instanceOf in interface XQItemAccessor
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - item type to match
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this item matches the input item type as defined in 2.5.4.2 Matching an Item Type and an Item, XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language, and false if it does not
    
    Throws:
    
    XQException - if (1) there are errors accessing the item's type, (2) if the underlying sequence or item is in a closed state, (3) if the implementation is unable to determine the schema definition of a user defined schema type, or (4) the type parameter is null
