public class MatchPatternIterator
extends LocPathIterator

This class treats a LocationPath as a filtered iteration over the tree, evaluating each node in a super axis traversal against the LocationPath interpreted as a match pattern. This class is useful to find nodes in document order that are complex paths whose steps probably criss-cross each other.

clone

Field Detail

m_pattern

protected StepPattern m_pattern

This is the select pattern, translated into a match pattern.

m_superAxis

protected int m_superAxis

The traversal axis from where the nodes will be filtered.

m_traverser

protected DTMAxisTraverser m_traverser

The DTM inner traversal class, that corresponds to the super axis.

Method Detail

setRoot

public void setRoot(int context,
                    Object environment)

Initialize the context values for this expression after it is cloned.

Specified by:

setRoot in interface DTMIterator

Overrides:

setRoot in class LocPathIterator

Parameters:

context - The XPath runtime context for this transformation.

environment - The environment object. The environment in which this iterator operates, which should provide:

• a node (the context node... same value as "root" defined below)
• a pair of non-zero positive integers (the context position and the context size)
• a set of variable bindings
• a function library
• the set of namespace declarations in scope for the expression.

At this time the exact implementation of this environment is application dependent. Probably a proper interface will be created fairly soon.

detach

public void detach()

Detaches the iterator from the set which it iterated over, releasing any computational resources and placing the iterator in the INVALID state. Afterdetach has been invoked, calls to nextNode orpreviousNode will raise the exception INVALID_STATE_ERR.

Specified by:

detach in interface DTMIterator

Overrides:

detach in class LocPathIterator

getNextNode

protected int getNextNode()

Get the next node via getNextXXX. Bottlenecked for derived class override.

Returns:

The next node on the axis, or DTM.NULL.

nextNode

public int nextNode()

Returns the next node in the set and advances the position of the iterator in the set. After a NodeIterator is created, the first call to nextNode() returns the first node in the set.

Specified by:

nextNode in interface DTMIterator

Specified by:

nextNode in class LocPathIterator

Returns:

The next Node in the set being iterated over, or null if there are no more members in that set.

acceptNode

public short acceptNode(int n,
                        XPathContext xctxt)

Test whether a specified node is visible in the logical view of a TreeWalker or NodeIterator. This function will be called by the implementation of TreeWalker and NodeIterator; it is not intended to be called directly from user code.

Parameters:

n - The node to check to see if it passes the filter or not.

Returns:

a constant to determine whether the node is accepted, rejected, or skipped, as defined above .
