public abstract class LocPathIterator
extends PredicatedNodeTest
implements java.lang.Cloneable, weblogic.apache.xml.dtm.DTMIterator, java.io.Serializable

This class extends NodeSetDTM, 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.

Field Detail

m_clones

protected transient IteratorPool m_clones
The pool for cloned iterators. Iterators need to be cloned because the hold running state, and thus the original iterator expression from the stylesheet pool can not be used.

m_cdtm

protected transient weblogic.apache.xml.dtm.DTM m_cdtm
The dtm of the context node. Careful about using this... it may not be the dtm of the current node.

m_last

protected transient int m_last
The index of the last node in the iteration.

m_lastFetched

public transient int m_lastFetched
The last node that was fetched, usually by nextNode.

m_context

protected transient int m_context
The context node for this iterator, which doesn't change through the course of the iteration.

m_currentContextNode

protected transient int m_currentContextNode

m_prefixResolver

protected PrefixResolver m_prefixResolver
Fast access to the current prefix resolver. It isn't really clear that this is needed.

m_execContext

protected transient XPathContext m_execContext
The XPathContext reference, needed for execution of many operations.

m_next

protected transient int m_next
The index of the next node to be fetched. Useful if this is a cached iterator, and is being used as random access NodeList.

Parameters:
nodeHandle - the nodeHandle.
Returns:
a non-null DTM reference.

getDTMManager in interface weblogic.apache.xml.dtm.DTMIterator

Returns:
a non-null DTMManager reference.

execute

public XObject execute(XPathContext xctxt)

Throws:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException -  
Overrides:

the first node out of the nodeset, or DTM.NULL.
Overrides:
asNode in class Expression

bool

item

public int 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 .

Specified by:
isFresh in interface weblogic.apache.xml.dtm.DTMIterator

Returns:
The previous Node in the set being iterated over, ornull if there are no more members in that set.

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:

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 weblogic.apache.xml.dtm.DTMIterator

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.
