  +--com.hp.hpl.mesa.rdf.jena.common.prettywriter.LateBindingIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Iterator

public abstract class LateBindingIterator

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.util.Iterator

An Iterator that is created lazily. The sequence to be defined is defined by the subclass's definition of create(). This is only called on the first call to hasNext() or next(). This allows an Iterator to be passed to some other code, while delaying the evaluation of what actually is going to be iterated over.

Constructor Detail

LateBindingIterator

public LateBindingIterator()

An Iterator that is created lazily. The sequence to be defined is defined by a subclass's instantiation of create(). This is only called on the first call to hasNext() or next().

Method Detail

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Specified by:

hasNext in interface java.util.Iterator

next

public java.lang.Object next()

Specified by:

next in interface java.util.Iterator

remove

public void remove()

Specified by:

remove in interface java.util.Iterator

create

public abstract java.util.Iterator create()

The subclass must define this to return the Iterator to invoke. This method will be called at most once, on the first call to next() or hasNext(). From then on, all calls to this will be passed through to the returned Iterator.

Returns:

The parent iterator defining the sequence.
