InitialContext (Apache Commons JXPath 1.4-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.EvalContext
- - org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.axes.InitialContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterator, ExpressionContext
```
public class InitialContext
extends EvalContext
```
A single-set EvalContext that provides access to the current node of the parent context and nothing else. It does not pass the iteration on to the parent context.

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`NodePointer`	`getCurrentNodePointer()` Returns the current context node.
`Pointer`	`getSingleNodePointer()` Returns the first encountered Pointer that matches the current context's criteria.
`Object`	`getValue()` Typically returns the NodeSet by calling getNodeSet(), but will be overridden for contexts that more naturally produce individual values, e.g.
`boolean`	`nextNode()` Returns true if there is another object in the current set.
`boolean`	`nextSet()` Returns true if there is another sets of objects to interate over.
`boolean`	`setPosition(int position)` Moves the current position to the specified index.

public InitialContext(EvalContext parentContext)
```
    Create a new InitialContext.
    
    Parameters:
    parentContext - parent context
- Method Detail
  - getSingleNodePointer
```
public Pointer getSingleNodePointer()
```
    Description copied from class: EvalContext
    
    Returns the first encountered Pointer that matches the current context's criteria.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getSingleNodePointer in class EvalContext
    
    Returns:
    Pointer
  - 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
  - getValue
```
public Object getValue()
```
    Description copied from class: EvalContext
    
    Typically returns the NodeSet by calling getNodeSet(), but will be overridden for contexts that more naturally produce individual values, e.g. VariableContext
    
    Overrides:
    
    getValue in class EvalContext
    
    Returns:
    Object
  - 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
  - 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
  - nextSet
```
public boolean nextSet()
```
    Description copied from class: EvalContext
    
    Returns true if there is another sets of objects to interate over. Resets the current position and node.
    
    Overrides:
    
    nextSet in class EvalContext
    
    Returns:
    boolean
