  • Method Details

    • next

      public int next()
      Description copied from interface: DTMAxisIterator
      Get the next node in the iteration.
      Returns:
      The next node handle in the iteration, or END.
    • setStartNode

      public DTMAxisIterator setStartNode(int node)
      Description copied from interface: DTMAxisIterator
      Set start to END should 'close' the iterator, i.e. subsequent call to next() should return END.
      Parameters:
      node - Sets the root of the iteration.
      Returns:
      A DTMAxisIterator set to the start of the iteration.
    • getPosition

      public int getPosition()
      Specified by:
      getPosition in interface DTMAxisIterator
      Overrides:
      getPosition in class DTMAxisIteratorBase
      Returns:
      The position of the current node within the set, as defined by XPath. Note that this is one-based, not zero-based.
    • getLast

      public int getLast()
      Description copied from class: DTMAxisIteratorBase
      Returns the position of the last node within the iteration, as defined by XPath. In a forward iterator, I believe this equals the number of nodes which this iterator will yield. In a reverse iterator, I believe it should return 1 (since the "last" is the first produced.) This may be an expensive operation when called the first time, since it may have to iterate through a large part of the document to produce its answer.
      Specified by:
      getLast in interface DTMAxisIterator
      Overrides:
      getLast in class DTMAxisIteratorBase
      Returns:
      The number of nodes in this iterator (forward) or 1 (reverse).
    • setMark

      public void setMark()
      Description copied from interface: DTMAxisIterator
      Remembers the current node for the next call to gotoMark().
    • gotoMark

      public void gotoMark()
      Description copied from interface: DTMAxisIterator
      Restores the current node remembered by setMark().
    • cloneIterator

      public DTMAxisIterator cloneIterator()
      Clone a SortingIterator by cloning its source iterator and then sharing the factory and the array of NodeSortRecords.
      Specified by:
      cloneIterator in interface DTMAxisIterator
      Overrides:
      cloneIterator in class DTMAxisIteratorBase
      Returns:
      a deep copy of this iterator.
