All Implemented Interfaces:

AxisIterator, SequenceIterator

public class PrependIterator

extends java.lang.Object

implements AxisIterator

An iterator over nodes, that prepends a given node to the nodes returned by another iterator. Used to modify an iterator over axis A to one that iterates over A-OR-SELF.

Constructor Detail

PrependIterator

public PrependIterator(NodeInfo start,
                       AxisIterator base)

Method Detail

next

public Item next()

Get the next item in the sequence.

Specified by:

next in interface AxisIterator

Returns:

the next Item. If there are no more nodes, return null.

current

public Item current()

Get the current item in the sequence.

Specified by:

current in interface AxisIterator

Returns:

the current item, that is, the item most recently returned by next()

position

public int position()

Get the current position

Specified by:

position in interface AxisIterator

Returns:

the position of the current item (the item most recently returned by next()), starting at 1 for the first node

getAnother

public SequenceIterator getAnother()

Get another iterator over the same sequence of items, positioned at the start of the sequence

Specified by:

getAnother in interface AxisIterator

Returns:

a new iterator over the same sequence

getProperties

public int getProperties()

Get properties of this iterator, as a bit-significant integer.

Specified by:

getProperties in interface SequenceIterator

Returns:

the properties of this iterator. This will be some combination of properties such as GROUNDED, LAST_POSITION_FINDER, and LOOKAHEAD. It is always acceptable to return the value zero, indicating that there are no known special properties. It is acceptable for the properties of the iterator to change depending on its state.
