Constructor Detail

MergeGroupingIterator

public MergeGroupingIterator(SequenceIterator p1,
                             java.util.Comparator<? super ObjectValue<ItemWithMergeKeys>> comp,
                             LastPositionFinder lpf)
                      throws XPathException

Throws:

XPathException

Method Detail

getSnapShot

public MergeGroupingIterator.ManualMergeGroupingIterator getSnapShot(XPathContext context)

Description copied from interface: GroupIterator

Get a sequence which is a snapshot of this sequence at the current position

Specified by:

getSnapShot in interface GroupIterator

Parameters:

context - the XPath context

Returns:

the snapshot sequence

supportsHasNext

public boolean supportsHasNext()

Description copied from interface: LookaheadIterator

Ask whether the hasNext() method can be called. This method must be called before calling hasNext(), because some iterators implement this interface, but only support look-ahead under particular circumstances (this is usually because they delegate to another iterator)

Specified by:

supportsHasNext in interface LookaheadIterator

Returns:

true if the LookaheadIterator.hasNext() method is available

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Description copied from interface: LookaheadIterator

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 LookaheadIterator.supportsHasNext() is true.

Specified by:

hasNext in interface LookaheadIterator

Returns:

true if there are more items in the sequence

next

public Item next()

Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator

Get the next item in the sequence. This method changes the state of the iterator.

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.

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.

Closing an iterator is not necessary if the iterator is read to completion: if a call on SequenceIterator.next() returns null, the iterator will be closed automatically. An explicit call on SequenceIterator.close() is needed only when iteration is abandoned prematurely.

Specified by:

close in interface java.io.Closeable

Specified by:

close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface SequenceIterator

discharge

public void discharge()

Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator

Calling this method instructs the iterator to release any resources it holds, while still remaining able to deliver the remaining items in the sequence. This may require the iterator to calculate the rest of the sequence eagerly. The method is called by a client if it anticipates that it might not read the iterator to completion, but it cannot guarantee that SequenceIterator.close() will be called when no more items are needed.

Specified by:

discharge in interface SequenceIterator

supportsGetLength

public boolean supportsGetLength()

Description copied from interface: LastPositionFinder

Ask whether this iterator supports use of the LastPositionFinder.getLength() method. This method should always be called before calling LastPositionFinder.getLength(), because an iterator that implements this interface may support use of LastPositionFinder.getLength() in some situations and not in others

Specified by:

supportsGetLength in interface LastPositionFinder

Returns:

true if the LastPositionFinder.getLength() method can be called to determine the length of the underlying sequence.

getLength

public int getLength()

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 LastPositionFinder.supportsGetLength() has been called and has returned true.

Specified by:

getLength in interface LastPositionFinder

Returns:

the number of items in the sequence

getCurrentGroupingKey

public AtomicSequence getCurrentGroupingKey()

Description copied from interface: GroupIterator

Get the grouping key of the current group

Specified by:

getCurrentGroupingKey in interface GroupIterator

Returns:

the current grouping key in the case of group-by or group-adjacent, or null in the case of group-starting-with and group-ending-with

iterateCurrentGroup

public SequenceIterator iterateCurrentGroup()

Description copied from interface: GroupIterator

Get an iterator over the members of the current group, in population order. This must always be a clean iterator, that is, an iterator that starts at the first item of the group.

Specified by:

iterateCurrentGroup in interface GroupIterator

Returns:

an iterator over all the members of the current group, in population order.

iterateCurrentGroup

public SequenceIterator iterateCurrentGroup(java.lang.String source)
