public class ChildIterator

extends LocPathIterator

**For advanced use only** This class implements an optimized iterator for "node()" patterns, that is, any children of the context node.

Constructor Detail

ChildIterator

public ChildIterator(Compiler compiler,
                     int opPos,
                     int analysis)
              throws TransformerException

Create a ChildIterator object.

Parameters:

compiler - A reference to the Compiler that contains the op map.

opPos - The position within the op map, which contains the location path expression for this itterator. NEEDSDOC @param analysis

Throws:

TransformerException -

Method Detail

nextNode

public Node nextNode()
              throws DOMException

Returns the next node in the set and advances the position of the iterator in the set. After a NodeIterator is created, the first call to nextNode() returns the first node in the set.

Returns:

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

Throws:

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

Overrides:

nextNode in class LocPathIterator
