Constructor Details

AncestorContext

public AncestorContext(EvalContext parentContext,
 boolean includeSelf,
 NodeTest nodeTest)

Constructs a new AncestorContext.

Parameters:

parentContext - represents the previous step on the path

includeSelf - differentiates between "ancestor::" and "ancestor-or-self::" axes

nodeTest - is the name of the element(s) we are looking for

Method Details

getCurrentNodePointer

public NodePointer getCurrentNodePointer()

Description copied from class: EvalContext

Returns the current context node. Undefined before the beginning of the iteration.

Specified by:

getCurrentNodePointer in class EvalContext

Returns:

NodePoiner

getDocumentOrder

public int getDocumentOrder()

Description copied from class: EvalContext

Determines the document order for this context.

Overrides:

getDocumentOrder in class EvalContext

Returns:

1 ascending order, -1 descending order, 0 - does not require ordering

nextNode

public boolean nextNode()

Description copied from class: EvalContext

Returns true if there is another object in the current set. Switches the current position and node to the next object.

Specified by:

nextNode in class EvalContext

Returns:

boolean

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from class: EvalContext

Sets current position = 0, which is the pre-iteration state.

Overrides:

reset in class EvalContext

setPosition

public boolean setPosition(int position)

Description copied from class: EvalContext

Moves the current position to the specified index. Used with integer predicates to quickly get to the n'th element of the node set. Returns false if the position is out of the node set range. You can call it with 0 as the position argument to restart the iteration.

Overrides:

setPosition in class EvalContext

Parameters:

position - to set

Returns:

boolean
