public class LocPathIterator

extends PredicatedNodeTest

implements java.lang.Cloneable, org.w3c.dom.traversal.NodeIterator, ContextNodeList, org.w3c.dom.NodeList, java.io.Serializable

This class extends NodeSet, which implements NodeIterator, and fetches nodes one at a time in document order based on a XPath

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.

size

public int size()

Get the length of the cached nodes.

Note: for the moment at least, this only returns the size of the nodes that have been fetched to date, it doesn't attempt to run to the end to make sure we have found everything. This should be reviewed.

Specified by:

size in interface ContextNodeList

Returns:

The size of the current cache list.

item

public org.w3c.dom.Node item(int index)

Returns the index th item in the collection. If index is greater than or equal to the number of nodes in the list, this returns null .

The node at the index th 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.

Specified by:

getLength in interface org.w3c.dom.NodeList

Returns:

The number of nodes in the list, always greater or equal to zero.

isFresh

public boolean isFresh()

Tells if this NodeSet 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 ContextNodeList

Returns:

true of nextNode has not been called.

previousNode

public org.w3c.dom.Node previousNode()
                              throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException

Throws:

org.w3c.dom.DOMException - INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if this method is called after the detach method was invoked.

getWhatToShow

public int getWhatToShow()

This attribute determines which node types are presented via the iterator. The available set of constants is defined in the NodeFilter interface.

This is somewhat useless at this time, since it doesn't really return information that tells what this iterator will show. It is here only to fullfill the DOM NodeIterator interface.

Specified by:

getWhatToShow in interface org.w3c.dom.traversal.NodeIterator

Returns:

For now, always NodeFilter.SHOW_ALL & ~NodeFilter.SHOW_ENTITY_REFERENCE.

Overrides:

getWhatToShow in class NodeTest

See Also:

NodeIterator

getFilter

public org.w3c.dom.traversal.NodeFilter getFilter()

The filter used to screen nodes. Not used at this time, this is here only to fullfill the DOM NodeIterator interface.

Specified by:

getFilter in interface org.w3c.dom.traversal.NodeIterator

Returns:

Always null.

See Also:

NodeIterator

getRoot

public org.w3c.dom.Node getRoot()

The root node of the Iterator, as specified when it was created.

Specified by:

getRoot in interface org.w3c.dom.traversal.NodeIterator

Returns:

The "root" of this iterator, which, in XPath terms, is the node context for this iterator.

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 org.w3c.dom.traversal.NodeIterator

Returns:

Always true, since entity reference nodes are not visible in the XPath model.

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.

Specified by:

detach in interface org.w3c.dom.traversal.NodeIterator

cloneWithReset

public org.w3c.dom.traversal.NodeIterator cloneWithReset()
                                                  throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

                          throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException

Specified by:

nextNode in interface org.w3c.dom.traversal.NodeIterator

Returns:

The next Node in the set being iterated over, or null if there are no more members in that set.
