Class SingleNodeIterator

java.lang.Object
net.sf.saxon.tree.iter.SingleNodeIterator
All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable, LastPositionFinder, SequenceIterator, AxisIterator, GroundedIterator, LookaheadIterator, ReversibleIterator
public class SingleNodeIterator extends Object implements AxisIterator, ReversibleIterator, LastPositionFinder, GroundedIterator, LookaheadIterator
SingleNodeIterator: an iterator over a sequence of zero or one nodes

  • Method Details

    • makeIterator

      public static AxisIterator makeIterator(NodeInfo item)
      Factory method.
      Parameters:
      item - the item to iterate over
      Returns:
      a SingletonIterator over the supplied item, or an EmptyIterator if the supplied item is null.

    • 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()
      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.
      Specified by:
      hasNext in interface LookaheadIterator
      Returns:
      true if there are more items

    • next

      public NodeInfo 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 AxisIterator
      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.

    • 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

    • getReverseIterator

      public SequenceIterator getReverseIterator()
      Description copied from interface: ReversibleIterator
      Get a new SequenceIterator that returns the same items in reverse order. If this SequenceIterator is an AxisIterator, then the returned SequenceIterator must also be an AxisIterator.
      Specified by:
      getReverseIterator in interface ReversibleIterator
      Returns:
      an iterator over the items in reverse order

    • isActuallyGrounded

      public boolean isActuallyGrounded()
      Description copied from interface: GroundedIterator
      Ask if the iterator is actually grounded. This method must be called before calling GroundedIterator.materialize() or GroundedIterator.getResidue(), because the iterator might be grounded under some conditions and not others (usually when it delegates to another iterator)
      Specified by:
      isActuallyGrounded in interface GroundedIterator
      Returns:
      true if this iterator is grounded

    • getValue

      public NodeInfo getValue()

    • materialize

      public GroundedValue materialize()
      Return a Value containing all the items in the sequence returned by this SequenceIterator
      Specified by:
      materialize in interface GroundedIterator
      Returns:
      the corresponding Value. If the value is a closure or a function call package, it will be evaluated and expanded.

    • getResidue

      public GroundedValue getResidue()
      Description copied from interface: GroundedIterator
      Return a GroundedValue containing all the remaining items in the sequence returned by this SequenceIterator, starting at the current position. This should be an "in-memory" value, not a Closure. This method does not change the state of the iterator (in particular, it does not consume the iterator).
      Specified by:
      getResidue in interface GroundedIterator
      Returns:
      the corresponding Value
