Direct Known Subclasses:

public class AncestorWalker
extends ReverseAxesWalker

Walker for the 'ancestor' axes.

This class is based on an implementation from the Apache XML Project. In future releases the XML parser, XSLT processor, and associated classes will likely be updated to be based on a later version of the Apache implementations. Since Apache does not guarantee backwards compatibility between versions of their software, we cannot guarantee backwards compatibility of any of the classes contained in the weblogic.apache package or sub-packages.

Field Detail

m_ancestors

protected transient java.util.Stack m_ancestors
Stack of ancestors. We have to do this instead of just using getParent on the fly, because we have to walk the ancestors in document order.

m_ancestorsPos

protected transient int m_ancestorsPos
The position within the stack.
Constructor Detail

AncestorWalker

public AncestorWalker(LocPathIterator locPathIterator)
Construct an AncestorWalker using a LocPathWalker.

Parameters:
locPathIterator - The location path iterator that 'owns' this walker.
Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
Get a cloned AncestorWalker.

Returns:
A new AncestorWalker that can be used without mutating this one.
Throws:
java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException -  
Overrides:
clone in class AxesWalker

pushAncestors

protected void pushAncestors(org.w3c.dom.Node n)
Push the ancestor nodes.

Parameters:
n -  

setRoot

public void setRoot(org.w3c.dom.Node root)
The root node of the TreeWalker.

Parameters:
root - The context node of this step.
Overrides:
setRoot in class ReverseAxesWalker

firstChild

public org.w3c.dom.Node firstChild()
Moves the TreeWalker to the first visible child of the current node, and returns the new node. If the current node has no visible children, returns null , and retains the current node.

Returns:
The new node, or null if the current node has no visible children in the TreeWalker's logical view.
Overrides:
firstChild in class AxesWalker

getLevelMax

protected int getLevelMax()
Tell what's the maximum level this axes can descend to.

Returns:
An estimation of the maximum level this axes can descend to.
Overrides:
getLevelMax in class AxesWalker
