Class PrependIterator

java.lang.Object
  extended by net.sf.saxon.om.PrependIterator
All Implemented Interfaces:
AxisIterator, SequenceIterator, UnfailingIterator

public class PrependIterator
extends 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

moveNext

public boolean moveNext()
Move to the next node, without returning it. Returns true if there is a next node, false if the end of the sequence has been reached. After calling this method, the current node may be retrieved using the current() function.

Specified by:
moveNext in interface AxisIterator

next

public Item next()
Get the next item in the sequence.

Specified by:
next in interface SequenceIterator
Specified by:
next in interface UnfailingIterator
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 SequenceIterator
Specified by:
current in interface UnfailingIterator
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 SequenceIterator
Specified by:
position in interface UnfailingIterator
Returns:
the position of the current item (the item most recently returned by next()), starting at 1 for the first node

iterateAxis

public AxisIterator iterateAxis(byte axis,
                                NodeTest test)
Return an iterator over an axis, starting at the current node.

Specified by:
iterateAxis in interface AxisIterator
Parameters:
axis - the axis to iterate over, using a constant such as Axis.CHILD
test - a predicate to apply to the nodes before returning them.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if there is no current node

atomize

public Value atomize()
              throws XPathException
Return the atomized value of the current node.

Specified by:
atomize in interface AxisIterator
Returns:
the atomized value.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if there is no current node
XPathException

getStringValue

public CharSequence getStringValue()
Return the string value of the current node.

Specified by:
getStringValue in interface AxisIterator
Returns:
the string value, as an instance of CharSequence.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if there is no current 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 SequenceIterator
Specified by:
getAnother in interface UnfailingIterator
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 SequenceIterator.GROUNDED, SequenceIterator.LAST_POSITION_FINDER, and SequenceIterator.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.
