Class PrependIterator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    LastPositionFinder, AxisEnumeration, NodeEnumeration

    public class PrependIterator
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements AxisEnumeration
    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.

      • hasMoreElements

        public boolean hasMoreElements()
        Determine whether there are more nodes to come.
        (Note the term "Element" is used here in the sense of the standard Java Enumeration class, it has nothing to do with XML elements).
        Specified by:
        hasMoreElements in interface AxisEnumeration
        Specified by:
        hasMoreElements in interface NodeEnumeration
        Returns:
        true if there are more nodes
      • isPeer

        public boolean isPeer()
        Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be peers, that is, no node is a descendant or ancestor of another node. This significance of this property is that if a peer enumeration is applied to each node in a set derived from another peer enumeration, and if both enumerations are sorted, then the result is also sorted.
        Specified by:
        isPeer in interface NodeEnumeration
      • isReverseSorted

        public boolean isReverseSorted()
        Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be in reverse document order.
        Specified by:
        isReverseSorted in interface NodeEnumeration
        Returns:
        true if the nodes are guaranteed to be in document order.
      • isSorted

        public boolean isSorted()
        Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be in document order
        Specified by:
        isSorted in interface NodeEnumeration
        Returns:
        true if the nodes are guaranteed to be in document order.
