Method Detail

make
public static SequenceIterator make(SequenceIterator base, int min, int max) throws XPathException
Static factory method. Creates a SubsequenceIterator, unless for example the base Iterator is an ArrayIterator, in which case it optimizes by creating a new ArrayIterator directly over the underlying array. This optimization is important when doing recursion over a node-set using repeated calls of$nodes[position()>1]
- Parameters:
base
- An iteration of the items to be filteredmin
- The position of the first item to be included (base 1)max
- The position of the last item to be included (base 1)- Returns:
- an iterator over the requested subsequence
- Throws:
XPathException
- if a dynamic error occurs
-
supportsHasNext
public boolean supportsHasNext()
Description copied from interface:LookaheadIterator
Ask whether the hasNext() method can be called. This method must be called before calling hasNext(), because some iterators implement this interface, but only support look-ahead under particular circumstances (this is usually because they delegate to another iterator)- Specified by:
supportsHasNext
in interfaceLookaheadIterator
- Returns:
- true if the
LookaheadIterator.hasNext()
method is available
-
hasNext
public boolean hasNext()
Test whether there are any more items available in the sequence- Specified by:
hasNext
in interfaceLookaheadIterator
- Returns:
- true if there are more items in the sequence
-
next
public Item next()
Get the next item if there is one- Specified by:
next
in interfaceSequenceIterator
- 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.
-
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.
Closing an iterator is not necessary if the iterator is read to completion: if a call on
SequenceIterator.next()
returns null, the iterator will be closed automatically. An explicit call onSequenceIterator.close()
is needed only when iteration is abandoned prematurely.- Specified by:
close
in interfacejava.lang.AutoCloseable
- Specified by:
close
in interfacejava.io.Closeable
- Specified by:
close
in interfaceSequenceIterator
-
discharge
public void discharge()
Description copied from interface:SequenceIterator
Calling this method instructs the iterator to release any resources it holds, while still remaining able to deliver the remaining items in the sequence. This may require the iterator to calculate the rest of the sequence eagerly. The method is called by a client if it anticipates that it might not read the iterator to completion, but it cannot guarantee thatSequenceIterator.close()
will be called when no more items are needed.- Specified by:
discharge
in interfaceSequenceIterator
-
supportsGetLength
public boolean supportsGetLength()
Ask whether this iterator supports use of thegetLength()
method. This method should always be called before callinggetLength()
, because an iterator that implements this interface may support use ofgetLength()
in some situations and not in others- Specified by:
supportsGetLength
in interfaceLastPositionFinder
- Returns:
- true if the
getLength()
method can be called to determine the length of the underlying sequence.
-
getLength
public int getLength()
Get the last position (that is, the number of items in the sequence).- Specified by:
getLength
in interfaceLastPositionFinder
- Returns:
- the number of items in the sequence
