DTMNodeListBasepublic class DTMNodeListBase extends Object implements NodeListDTMNodeList gives us an implementation of the DOM's
NodeList interface wrapped around a DTM Iterator. The author
considers this something of an abominations, since NodeList was not
intended to be a general purpose "list of nodes" API and is
generally considered by the DOM WG to have be a mistake... but I'm
told that some of the XPath/XSLT folks say they must have this
solution.
Please note that this is not necessarily equivlaent to a DOM
NodeList operating over the same document. In particular:
- If there are several Text nodes in logical succession (ie,
across CDATASection and EntityReference boundaries), we will return
only the first; the caller is responsible for stepping through
them.
(%REVIEW% Provide a convenience routine here to assist, pending
proposed DOM Level 3 getAdjacentText() operation?)
- Since the whole XPath/XSLT architecture assumes that the source
document is not altered while we're working with it, we do not
promise to implement the DOM NodeList's "live view" response to
document mutation.

| Methods Summary |
|---|
| public int | getLength()The number of nodes in the list. The range of valid child node indices
is 0 to length-1 inclusive.
return 0;
| | public org.w3c.dom.Node | item(int index)Returns the indexth item in the collection. If
index is greater than or equal to the number of nodes in
the list, this returns null.
