Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
NodePointer	getCurrentNodePointer()	Returns the current context node.
Pointer	getSingleNodePointer()	This method is called on the last context on the path when only one value is needed.
boolean	nextNode()	Returns true if there is another object in the current set.
void	reset()	Sets current position = 0, which is the pre-iteration state.

Constructor Details

ChildContext

public ChildContext(EvalContext parentContext,
 NodeTest nodeTest,
 boolean startFromParentLocation,
 boolean reverse)

Constructs a new ChildContext.

Parameters:

parentContext - parent EvalContext

nodeTest - NodeTest

startFromParentLocation - whether to start from parent location

reverse - whether to iterate in reverse

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

getSingleNodePointer

public Pointer getSingleNodePointer()

This method is called on the last context on the path when only one value is needed. Note that this will return the whole property, even if it is a collection. It will not extract the first element of the collection. For example, "books" will return the collection of books rather than the first book from that collection.

Overrides:

getSingleNodePointer in class EvalContext

Returns:

Pointer

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
