Class PrependIterator

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.tree.iter.PrependIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

SequenceIterator, AxisIterator, UnfailingIterator

public class PrependIterator
extends Object
implements AxisIterator

An iterator over nodes, that prepends a given node to the nodes returned by another iterator. Used to modify an iterator over axis A to one that iterates over A-OR-SELF.

PrependIterator

public PrependIterator(NodeInfo start,
               AxisIterator base)

Method Detail

next

public NodeInfo next()

Get the next item in the sequence.

Specified by:

next in interface SequenceIterator

Specified by:

next in interface AxisIterator

Specified by:

next in interface UnfailingIterator

Returns:

the next Item. If there are no more nodes, return null.

close

public void close()

Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator

Close the iterator. This indicates to the supplier of the data that the client does not require any more items to be delivered by the iterator. This may enable the supplier to release resources. After calling close(), no further calls on the iterator should be made; if further calls are made, the effect of such calls is undefined.

(Currently, closing an iterator is important only when the data is being "pushed" in another thread. Closing the iterator terminates that thread and means that it needs to do no additional work. Indeed, failing to close the iterator may cause the push thread to hang waiting for the buffer to be emptied.)

Specified by:

close in interface SequenceIterator

getAnother

public AxisIterator getAnother()

Get another iterator over the same sequence of items, positioned at the start of the sequence

Specified by:

getAnother in interface SequenceIterator

Specified by:

getAnother in interface AxisIterator

Specified by:

getAnother in interface UnfailingIterator

Returns:

a new iterator over the same sequence

getProperties

public int getProperties()

Get properties of this iterator, as a bit-significant integer.

Specified by:

getProperties in interface SequenceIterator

Returns:

the properties of this iterator. This will be some combination of properties such as SequenceIterator.GROUNDED, SequenceIterator.LAST_POSITION_FINDER, and SequenceIterator.LOOKAHEAD. It is always acceptable to return the value zero, indicating that there are no known special properties. It is acceptable for the properties of the iterator to change depending on its state.
