Constructor Detail

Navigator.AncestorEnumeration

public Navigator.AncestorEnumeration(NodeInfo start,
                             boolean includeSelf)

Create an iterator over the ancestor or ancestor-or-self axis

Parameters:

start - the initial context node

includeSelf - true if the "self" node is to be included

Method Detail

next

public final NodeInfo next()

Description copied from interface: UnfailingIterator

Get the next item in the sequence.

Returns:

the next Item. If there are no more nodes, return null.

getAnother

public AxisIterator getAnother()

Description copied from interface: UnfailingIterator

Get another iterator over the same sequence of items, positioned at the start of the sequence. It must be possible to call this method at any time, whether none, some, or all of the items in the original iterator have been read. The method is non-destructive: it does not change the state of the original iterator.

Returns:

a new iterator over the same sequence
