Constructor Detail

UnionContext

public UnionContext(EvalContext parentContext,
                    EvalContext[] contexts)

Create a new UnionContext.

Parameters:

parentContext - parent context

contexts - child contexts

Method Detail

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

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 NodeSetContext

Parameters:

position - to set

Returns:

boolean
