public ZenoSequenceIterator(ZenoSequence sequence)

Method Detail

next

public Item 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 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

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

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

materialize

public GroundedValue materialize()

Description copied from interface: GroundedIterator

Create a GroundedValue (a sequence materialized in memory) containing all the values delivered by this SequenceIterator. The method must only be used when the SequenceIterator is positioned at the start. If it is not positioned at the start, then it is implementation-dependant whether the returned sequence contains all the nodes delivered by the SequenceIterator from the beginning, or only those delivered starting at the current position.

It is implementation-dependant whether this method consumes the SequenceIterator. (More specifically, in the current implementation: if the iterator is backed by a GroundedValue, then that value is returned and the iterator is not consumed; otherwise, the iterator is consumed and the method returns the remaining items after the current position only).

Specified by:

materialize in interface GroundedIterator

Returns:

a sequence containing all the items delivered by this SequenceIterator.

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()

Description copied from interface: LookaheadIterator

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.

This method must not be called unless the result of LookaheadIterator.supportsHasNext() is true.

Specified by:

hasNext in interface LookaheadIterator

Returns:

true if there are more items in the sequence
