Constructor Detail

Navigator.FollowingEnumeration

public Navigator.FollowingEnumeration(NodeInfo start)
Create an iterator over the "following" axis

Parameters:
start - the initial context node
Method Detail

advance

public void advance()
Description copied from class: Navigator.BaseEnumeration
The advance() method must be provided in each concrete implementation. It must leave the variable current set to the next node to be returned in the iteration, or to null if there are no more nodes to be returned.

Specified by:
advance in class Navigator.BaseEnumeration

getAnother

public SequenceIterator getAnother()
Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator
Get another SequenceIterator that iterates over the same items as the original, but which is repositioned at the start of the sequence.

This method allows access to all the items in the sequence without disturbing the current position of the iterator. Internally, its main use is in evaluating the last() function.

This method does not change the state of the iterator.

Specified by:
getAnother in interface SequenceIterator
Specified by:
getAnother in interface UnfailingIterator
Specified by:
getAnother in class Navigator.BaseEnumeration
Returns:
a SequenceIterator that iterates over the same items, positioned before the first item
