Class WrappingIterator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable, SequenceIterator, AxisIterator, UnfailingIterator

    public class WrappingIterator
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements AxisIterator
    A WrappingIterator delivers wrappers for the nodes delivered by its underlying iterator. It is used when no whitespace stripping is actually needed, e.g. for the attribute axis. But we still need to create wrappers, so that further iteration remains in the virtual layer rather than switching to the real nodes.

      • WrappingIterator

        public WrappingIterator​(AxisIterator base,
                                WrappingFunction function,
                                VirtualNode parent)
        Create a WrappingIterator
        Parameters:
        base - The underlying iterator
        parent - If all the nodes to be wrapped have the same parent, it can be specified here. Otherwise specify null.

      • close

        public void close()
        Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator
        Close the iterator. This indicates to the supplier of the data that the client does not require any more items to be delivered by the iterator. This may enable the supplier to release resources. After calling close(), no further calls on the iterator should be made; if further calls are made, the effect of such calls is undefined.

        For example, the iterator returned by the unparsed-text-lines() function has a close() method that causes the underlying input stream to be closed, whether or not the file has been read to completion.

        Closing an iterator is important when the data is being "pushed" in another thread. Closing the iterator terminates that thread and means that it needs to do no additional work. Indeed, failing to close the iterator may cause the push thread to hang waiting for the buffer to be emptied.
