Class NodeSetDTM

java.lang.Object
org.apache.xml.utils.NodeVector
org.apache.xpath.NodeSetDTM
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, DTMIterator
Direct Known Subclasses:
RTFIterator
public class NodeSetDTM
extends NodeVector
implements DTMIterator, Cloneable

The NodeSetDTM class can act as either a NodeVector, NodeList, or NodeIterator. However, in order for it to act as a NodeVector or NodeList, it's required that setShouldCacheNodes(true) be called before the first nextNode() is called, in order that nodes can be added as they are fetched. Derived classes that implement iterators must override runTo(int index), in order that they may run the iteration to the given index.

Note that we directly implement the DOM's NodeIterator interface. We do not emulate all the behavior of the standard NodeIterator. In particular, we do not guarantee to present a "live view" of the document ... but in XSLT, the source document should never be mutated, so this should never be an issue.

Thought: Should NodeSetDTM really implement NodeList and NodeIterator, or should there be specific subclasses of it which do so? The advantage of doing it all here is that all NodeSetDTMs will respond to the same calls; the disadvantage is that some of them may return less-than-enlightening results when you do so.

    • setEnvironment

      public void setEnvironment​(Object environment)
      Set the environment in which this iterator operates, which should provide: a node (the context node... same value as "root" defined below) a pair of non-zero positive integers (the context position and the context size) a set of variable bindings a function library the set of namespace declarations in scope for the expression.

      At this time the exact implementation of this environment is application dependent. Probably a proper interface will be created fairly soon.

      Parameters:
      environment - The environment object.

    • getRoot

      public int getRoot()
      Description copied from interface: DTMIterator
      The root node of the DTMIterator, as specified when it was created. Note the root node is not the root node of the document tree, but the context node from where the iteration begins and ends.
      Specified by:
      getRoot in interface DTMIterator
      Returns:
      The root node of the Iterator, as specified when it was created. For non-Iterator NodeSetDTMs, this will be null.

      • a node (the context node... same value as "root" defined below)
      • a pair of non-zero positive integers (the context position and the context size)
      • a set of variable bindings
      • a function library
      • the set of namespace declarations in scope for the expression.

          • At this time the exact implementation of this environment is application dependent. Probably a proper interface will be created fairly soon.

    • clone

      public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException
      Clone this NodeSetDTM. At this time, we only expect this to be used with LocPathIterators; it may not work with other kinds of NodeSetDTMs.
      Specified by:
      clone in interface DTMIterator
      Overrides:
      clone in class NodeVector
      Returns:
      a new NodeSetDTM of the same type, having the same state... though unless overridden in the subclasses, it may not copy all the state information.
      Throws:
      CloneNotSupportedException - if this subclass of NodeSetDTM does not support the clone() operation.

    • cloneWithReset

      public DTMIterator cloneWithReset() throws CloneNotSupportedException
      Get a cloned Iterator, and reset its state to the beginning of the iteration.
      Specified by:
      cloneWithReset in interface DTMIterator
      Returns:
      a new NodeSetDTM of the same type, having the same state... except that the reset() operation has been called.
      Throws:
      CloneNotSupportedException - if this subclass of NodeSetDTM does not support the clone() operation.

    • reset

      public void reset()
      Reset the iterator. May have no effect on non-iterator Nodesets.
      Specified by:
      reset in interface DTMIterator

    • getWhatToShow

      public int getWhatToShow()
      This attribute determines which node types are presented via the iterator. The available set of constants is defined in the DTMFilter interface. For NodeSetDTMs, the mask has been hardcoded to show all nodes except EntityReference nodes, which have no equivalent in the XPath data model.
      Specified by:
      getWhatToShow in interface DTMIterator
      Returns:
      integer used as a bit-array, containing flags defined in the DOM's DTMFilter class. The value will be SHOW_ALL & ~SHOW_ENTITY_REFERENCE, meaning that only entity references are suppressed.

    • getFilter

      public DTMFilter getFilter()
      The filter object used to screen nodes. Filters are applied to further reduce (and restructure) the DTMIterator's view of the document. In our case, we will be using hardcoded filters built into our iterators... but getFilter() is part of the DOM's DTMIterator interface, so we have to support it.
      Returns:
      null, which is slightly misleading. True, there is no user-written filter object, but in fact we are doing some very sophisticated custom filtering. A DOM purist might suggest returning a placeholder object just to indicate that this is not going to return all nodes selected by whatToShow.

    • getExpandEntityReferences

      public boolean getExpandEntityReferences()
      The value of this flag determines whether the children of entity reference nodes are visible to the iterator. If false, they will be skipped over.
      To produce a view of the document that has entity references expanded and does not expose the entity reference node itself, use the whatToShow flags to hide the entity reference node and set expandEntityReferences to true when creating the iterator. To produce a view of the document that has entity reference nodes but no entity expansion, use the whatToShow flags to show the entity reference node and set expandEntityReferences to false.
      Specified by:
      getExpandEntityReferences in interface DTMIterator
      Returns:
      true for all iterators based on NodeSetDTM, meaning that the contents of EntityRefrence nodes may be returned (though whatToShow says that the EntityReferences themselves are not shown.)

    • getDTM

      public DTM getDTM​(int nodeHandle)
      Get an instance of a DTM that "owns" a node handle. Since a node iterator may be passed without a DTMManager, this allows the caller to easily get the DTM using just the iterator.
      Specified by:
      getDTM in interface DTMIterator
      Parameters:
      nodeHandle - the nodeHandle.
      Returns:
      a non-null DTM reference.

    • getDTMManager

      public DTMManager getDTMManager()
      Get an instance of the DTMManager. Since a node iterator may be passed without a DTMManager, this allows the caller to easily get the DTMManager using just the iterator.
      Specified by:
      getDTMManager in interface DTMIterator
      Returns:
      a non-null DTMManager reference.

    • nextNode

      public int nextNode()
      Returns the next node in the set and advances the position of the iterator in the set. After a DTMIterator is created, the first call to nextNode() returns the first node in the set.
      Specified by:
      nextNode in interface DTMIterator
      Returns:
      The next Node in the set being iterated over, or DTM.NULL if there are no more members in that set.
      Throws:
      DOMException - INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if this method is called after the detach method was invoked.

    • previousNode

      public int previousNode()
      Returns the previous node in the set and moves the position of the iterator backwards in the set.
      Specified by:
      previousNode in interface DTMIterator
      Returns:
      The previous Node in the set being iterated over, orDTM.NULL if there are no more members in that set.
      Throws:
      DOMException - INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if this method is called after the detach method was invoked.
      RuntimeException - thrown if this NodeSetDTM is not of a cached type, and hence doesn't know what the previous node was.

    • detach

      public void detach()
      Detaches the iterator from the set which it iterated over, releasing any computational resources and placing the iterator in the INVALID state. Afterdetach has been invoked, calls to nextNode orpreviousNode will raise the exception INVALID_STATE_ERR.

      This operation is a no-op in NodeSetDTM, and will not cause INVALID_STATE_ERR to be raised by later operations.

      Specified by:
      detach in interface DTMIterator

    • allowDetachToRelease

      public void allowDetachToRelease​(boolean allowRelease)
      Specify if it's OK for detach to release the iterator for reuse.
      Specified by:
      allowDetachToRelease in interface DTMIterator
      Parameters:
      allowRelease - true if it is OK for detach to release this iterator for pooling.

    • isFresh

      public boolean isFresh()
      Tells if this NodeSetDTM is "fresh", in other words, if the first nextNode() that is called will return the first node in the set.
      Specified by:
      isFresh in interface DTMIterator
      Returns:
      true if nextNode() would return the first node in the set, false if it would return a later one.

    • runTo

      public void runTo​(int index)
      If an index is requested, NodeSetDTM will call this method to run the iterator to the index. By default this sets m_next to the index. If the index argument is -1, this signals that the iterator should be run to the end.
      Specified by:
      runTo in interface DTMIterator
      Parameters:
      index - Position to advance (or retreat) to, with 0 requesting the reset ("fresh") position and -1 (or indeed any out-of-bounds value) requesting the final position.
      Throws:
      RuntimeException - thrown if this NodeSetDTM is not one of the types which supports indexing/counting.

    • item

      public int item​(int index)
      Returns the indexth item in the collection. If index is greater than or equal to the number of nodes in the list, this returns null. TODO: What happens if index is out of range?
      Specified by:
      item in interface DTMIterator
      Parameters:
      index - Index into the collection.
      Returns:
      The node at the indexth position in the NodeList, or null if that is not a valid index.

    • getLength

      public int getLength()
      The number of nodes in the list. The range of valid child node indices is 0 to length-1 inclusive. Note that this operation requires finding all the matching nodes, which may defeat attempts to defer that work.
      Specified by:
      getLength in interface DTMIterator
      Returns:
      integer indicating how many nodes are represented by this list.

    • addNode

    • getCurrentPos

      public int getCurrentPos()
      Get the current position, which is one less than the next nextNode() call will retrieve. i.e. if you call getCurrentPos() and the return is 0, the next fetch will take place at index 1.
      Specified by:
      getCurrentPos in interface DTMIterator
      Returns:
      The the current position index.

    • setCurrentPos

      public void setCurrentPos​(int i)
      Set the current position in the node set.
      Specified by:
      setCurrentPos in interface DTMIterator
      Parameters:
      i - Must be a valid index.
      Throws:
      RuntimeException - thrown if this NodeSetDTM is not of a cached type, and thus doesn't permit indexed access.

    • getCurrentNode

      public int getCurrentNode()
      Return the last fetched node. Needed to support the UnionPathIterator.
      Specified by:
      getCurrentNode in interface DTMIterator
      Returns:
      the last fetched node.
      Throws:
      RuntimeException - thrown if this NodeSetDTM is not of a cached type, and thus doesn't permit indexed access.
