public interface SteppingNode
extends NodeInfo

This interface can be implemented by an implementation of NodeInfo to take advantage of a generic implementation of the descendant axis found in class SteppingNavigator

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
SteppingNode	getFirstChild()	Get the first child of this node
SteppingNode	getNextSibling()	Get the next sibling of this node
SteppingNode	getParent()	Get the parent of this node
SteppingNode	getPreviousSibling()	Get the previous sibling of this node
SteppingNode	getSuccessorElement(SteppingNode anchor, java.lang.String uri, java.lang.String local)	Find the next matching element in document order; that is, the first child element with the required name if there is one; otherwise the next sibling element if there is one; otherwise the next sibling element of the parent, grandparent, etc, up to the anchor element.

Method Detail

getParent

SteppingNode getParent()

Get the parent of this node

Specified by:

getParent in interface NodeInfo

Returns:

the parent of this node; or null if it is the root of the tree

getNextSibling

SteppingNode getNextSibling()

Get the next sibling of this node

Returns:

the next sibling if there is one, or null otherwise

getPreviousSibling

SteppingNode getPreviousSibling()

Get the previous sibling of this node

Returns:

the previous sibling if there is one, or null otherwise

getFirstChild

SteppingNode getFirstChild()

Get the first child of this node

Returns:

the first child if there is one, or null otherwise

getSuccessorElement

SteppingNode getSuccessorElement(SteppingNode anchor,
                                 java.lang.String uri,
                                 java.lang.String local)

Find the next matching element in document order; that is, the first child element with the required name if there is one; otherwise the next sibling element if there is one; otherwise the next sibling element of the parent, grandparent, etc, up to the anchor element.

Parameters:

anchor - the root of the tree within which navigation is confined

uri - the required namespace URI, or null if any namespace is acceptable

local - the required local name, or null if any local name is acceptable

Returns:

the next element after this one in document order, with the given URI and local name if specified, or null if this is the last node in the document, or the last node within the subtree being navigated
