SortedIterator

public SortedIterator(XPathContext context,
                      SequenceIterator base,
                      SortKeyEvaluator sortKeyEvaluator,
                      AtomicComparer[] comparators,
                      boolean createNewContext)

Create a sorted iterator

Parameters:

context - the dynamic XPath evaluation context

base - an iterator over the sequence to be sorted

sortKeyEvaluator - an object that allows the n'th sort key for a given item to be evaluated

comparators - an array of AtomicComparers, one for each sort key, for comparing sort key values

createNewContext - true if sort keys are computed relative to the item being sorted (as in XSLT but not XQuery)

Method Detail

setHostLanguage

public void setHostLanguage(HostLanguage language)

Set the host language

Parameters:

language - the host language (for example HostLanguage.XQUERY)

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Determine whether there are more items to come. Note that this operation is stateless and it is not necessary (or usual) to call it before calling next(). It is used only when there is an explicit need to tell if we are at the last element.

This method must not be called unless the result of getProperties() on the iterator includes the bit setting SequenceIterator.Property.LOOKAHEAD

Specified by:

hasNext in interface LookaheadIterator

Returns:

true if there are more items in the sequence

next

public Item next()
          throws XPathException

Get the next item, in sorted order

Specified by:

next in interface SequenceIterator

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.

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs retrieving the next item

getLength

public int getLength()
              throws XPathException

Description copied from interface: LastPositionFinder

Get the last position (that is, the number of items in the sequence). This method is non-destructive: it does not change the state of the iterator. The result is undefined if the next() method of the iterator has already returned null. This method must not be called unless the result of getProperties() on the iterator includes the bit setting SequenceIterator.Property.LAST_POSITION_FINDER

Specified by:

getLength in interface LastPositionFinder

Returns:

the number of items in the sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs evaluating the sequence in order to determine the number of items

getProperties

public java.util.EnumSet<SequenceIterator.Property> 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.Property.GROUNDED, SequenceIterator.Property.LAST_POSITION_FINDER, and SequenceIterator.Property.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.

buildArray

protected void buildArray()
                   throws XPathException

Create an array holding the items to be sorted and the values of their sort keys

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs for example in evaluating a sort key
