Class WrappingIterator

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.tree.wrapper.WrappingIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

SequenceIterator, AxisIterator, UnfailingIterator

public class WrappingIterator
extends 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.

Constructor Detail

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.

Method Detail

next

public NodeInfo next()

Description copied from interface: UnfailingIterator

Get the next item in the sequence.

Specified by:

next in interface SequenceIterator

Specified by:

next in interface AxisIterator

Specified by:

next in interface UnfailingIterator

Returns:

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

current

public NodeInfo current()

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.

(Currently, closing an iterator is important only 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.)

Specified by:

close in interface SequenceIterator

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.

Specified by:

getAnother in interface SequenceIterator

Specified by:

getAnother in interface AxisIterator

Specified by:

getAnother in interface UnfailingIterator

Returns:

a new iterator over the same sequence

getProperties

public int getProperties()

Get properties of this iterator, as a bit-significant integer.

Specified by:

getProperties in interface SequenceIterator

Returns:

the properties of this iterator. This will be some combination of properties such as SequenceIterator.GROUNDED, SequenceIterator.LAST_POSITION_FINDER, and SequenceIterator.LOOKAHEAD. It is always acceptable to return the value zero, indicating that there are no known special properties. It is acceptable for the properties of the iterator to change depending on its state.
