                throws TransformerException

Returns:
An XNodeSet reference that holds this iterator.
Throws:
TransformerException -  
Overrides:

setIsTopLevel

getCurrentPos

public final int getCurrentPos()
Get the current position, which is one less than the next nextNode() call will retrieve. i.e. if you call getCurrentPos() and the return is 0, the next fetch will take place at index 1.
Specified by:
getCurrentPos in interface ContextNodeList
Returns:
A value greater than or equal to zero that indicates the next node position to fetch.

setShouldCacheNodes

public NodeSet getCachedNodes()
Get cached nodes.
Returns:
Cached nodes.

Specified by:
setCurrentPos in interface ContextNodeList
Parameters:
i - Must be a valid index greater than or equal to zero and less than m_cachedNodes.size().

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 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 .
Specified by:
item in interface NodeList
Parameters:
index - Index into the collection.
Returns:
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 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 Node previousNode()
                  throws DOMException
Returns the previous node in the set and moves the position of the iterator backwards in the set.
Specified by:
previousNode in interface NodeIterator
Returns:
The previous Node in the set being iterated over, ornull 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.

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 NodeIterator
Returns:
For now, always NodeFilter.SHOW_ALL & ~NodeFilter.SHOW_ENTITY_REFERENCE.
Overrides:
getWhatToShow in class NodeTest
See Also:
NodeIterator

getFilter

public 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 NodeIterator
Returns:
Always null.
See Also:
NodeIterator

getRoot

public Node getRoot()
The root node of the Iterator, as specified when it was created.
Specified by:
getRoot in interface 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 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 NodeIterator

cloneWithReset

public NodeIterator cloneWithReset()
                            throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
Get a cloned Iterator that is reset to the beginning of the query.
Specified by:
cloneWithReset in interface ContextNodeList
Returns:
A cloned NodeIterator set of the start of the query.

reset in interface ContextNodeList

nextNode

public Node nextNode()

Specified by:
nextNode in interface NodeIterator
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.

Specified by:
getCurrentNode in interface ContextNodeList
Returns:
The last fetched node, or null if the last fetch was null.

runTo

public void runTo(int index)
If an index is requested, NodeSet will call this method to run the iterator to the index. By default this sets m_next to the index. If the index argument is -1, this signals that the iterator should be run to the end.
