DTMIterator

Fields Summary
public static final short	FILTER_ACCEPT Accept the node.
public static final short	FILTER_REJECT Reject the node. Same behavior as FILTER_SKIP. (In the DOM these differ when applied to a TreeWalker but have the same result when applied to a NodeIterator).
public static final short	FILTER_SKIP Skip this single node.

Constructors Summary

Methods Summary
public void	allowDetachToRelease(boolean allowRelease) Specify if it's OK for detach to release the iterator for reuse. param allowRelease true if it is OK for detach to release this iterator for pooling.
public java.lang.Object	clone() Get a clone of this iterator, but don't reset the iteration in the process, so that it may be used from the current position. return A clone of this object. throws CloneNotSupportedException
public com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.dtm.DTMIterator	cloneWithReset() Get a cloned Iterator that is reset to the start of the iteration. return A clone of this iteration that has been reset. throws CloneNotSupportedException
public void	detach() Detaches the DTMIterator from the set which it iterated over, releasing any computational resources and placing the iterator in the INVALID state. After detach has been invoked, calls to nextNode or previousNode will raise a runtime exception.
public int	getAxis() Returns the axis being iterated, if it is known. return Axis.CHILD, etc., or -1 if the axis is not known or is of multiple types.
public int	getCurrentNode() Get the current node in the iterator. Note that this differs from the DOM's NodeIterator, where the current position lies between two nodes (as part of the maintain-relative-position semantic). return The current node handle, or -1.
public int	getCurrentPos() Get the current position within the cached list, 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. return The position of the iteration.
public com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.dtm.DTM	getDTM(int nodeHandle) Get an instance of a DTM that "owns" a node handle. Since a node iterator may be passed without a DTMManager, this allows the caller to easily get the DTM using just the iterator. param nodeHandle the nodeHandle. return a non-null DTM reference.
public com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.dtm.DTMManager	getDTMManager() Get an instance of the DTMManager. Since a node iterator may be passed without a DTMManager, this allows the caller to easily get the DTMManager using just the iterator. return a non-null DTMManager reference.
public boolean	getExpandEntityReferences() The value of this flag determines whether the children of entity reference nodes are visible to the iterator. If false, they and their descendants will be rejected. Note that this rejection takes precedence over whatToShow and the filter. 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. NOTE: In Xalan's use of DTM we will generally have fully expanded entity references when the document tree was built, and thus this flag will have no effect. return true if entity references will be expanded.
public int	getLength() The number of nodes in the list. The range of valid child node indices is 0 to length-1 inclusive. Note that this requires running the iterator to completion, and presumably filling the cache. return The number of nodes in the list.
public int	getRoot() The root node of the DTMIterator, as specified when it was created. Note the root node is not the root node of the document tree, but the context node from where the iteration begins and ends. return nodeHandle int Handle of the context node.
public int	getWhatToShow() This attribute determines which node types are presented via the iterator. The available set of constants is defined above. Nodes not accepted by whatToShow will be skipped, but their children may still be considered. return one of the SHOW_XXX constants, or several ORed together.
public boolean	isDocOrdered() Returns true if all the nodes in the iteration well be returned in document order. return true if all the nodes in the iteration well be returned in document order.
public boolean	isFresh() Tells if this NodeSetDTM is "fresh", in other words, if the first nextNode() that is called will return the first node in the set. return true if the iteration of this list has not yet begun.
public boolean	isMutable() Tells if this iterator can have nodes added to it or set via the setItem(int node, int index) method. return True if the nodelist can be mutated.
public int	item(int index) Returns the node handle of an item in the collection. If index is greater than or equal to the number of nodes in the list, this returns null. param index of the item. return The node handle at the indexth position in the DTMIterator, or -1 if that is not a valid index.
public int	nextNode() Returns the next node in the set and advances the position of the iterator in the set. After a DTMIterator has setRoot called, the first call to nextNode() returns that root or (if it is rejected by the filters) the first node within its subtree which is not filtered out. return The next node handle in the set being iterated over, or DTM.NULL if there are no more members in that set.
public int	previousNode() Returns the previous node in the set and moves the position of the DTMIterator backwards in the set. return The previous node handle in the set being iterated over, or DTM.NULL if there are no more members in that set.
public void	reset() Reset the iterator to the start. After resetting, the next node returned will be the root node -- or, if that's filtered out, the first node within the root's subtree which is _not_ skipped by the filters.
public void	runTo(int index) If an index is requested, NodeSetDTM 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 and completely fill the cache. param index The index to run to, or -1 if the iterator should be run to the end.
public void	setCurrentPos(int i) Set the current position in the node set. param i Must be a valid index.
public void	setItem(int node, int index) Sets the node at the specified index of this vector to be the specified node. The previous component at that position is discarded. The index must be a value greater than or equal to 0 and less than the current size of the vector. The iterator must be in cached mode. Meant to be used for sorted iterators. param node Node to set param index Index of where to set the node
public void	setRoot(int nodeHandle, java.lang.Object environment) Reset the root node of the DTMIterator, overriding the value specified when it was created. Note the root node is not the root node of the document tree, but the context node from where the iteration begins. param nodeHandle int Handle of the context node. param environment The environment object. The environment in which this iterator operates, which should provide: a node (the context node... same value as "root" defined below) a pair of non-zero positive integers (the context position and the context size) a set of variable bindings a function library the set of namespace declarations in scope for the expression. At this time the exact implementation of this environment is application dependent. Probably a proper interface will be created fairly soon.
public void	setShouldCacheNodes(boolean b) If setShouldCacheNodes(true) is called, then nodes will be cached, enabling random access, and giving the ability to do sorts and the like. They are not cached by default. %REVIEW% Shouldn't the other random-access methods throw an exception if they're called on a DTMIterator with this flag set false? param b true if the nodes should be cached.
