Constructor Detail

ParentContext

public ParentContext(EvalContext parentContext,
                     NodeTest nodeTest)
Create a new ParentContext.

Parameters:
parentContext - parent context
nodeTest - test
Method Detail

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

getCurrentPosition

public int getCurrentPosition()
Description copied from class: EvalContext
Get the current position.

Overrides:
getCurrentPosition in class EvalContext
Returns:
int position.

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

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

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
