Class DocumentNavigator.NodeIterator

java.lang.Object
  org.jaxen.dom.DocumentNavigator.NodeIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Iterator

Enclosing class:

DocumentNavigator

abstract class DocumentNavigator.NodeIterator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Iterator

A generic iterator over DOM nodes.

Concrete subclasses must implement the getFirstNode(org.w3c.dom.Node) and getNextNode(org.w3c.dom.Node) methods for a specific iteration strategy.

Field Summary

private org.w3c.dom.Node

node

protected abstract org.w3c.dom.Node	getFirstNode(org.w3c.dom.Node contextNode) Get the first node for iteration.
protected abstract org.w3c.dom.Node	getNextNode(org.w3c.dom.Node contextNode) Get the next node for iteration.
boolean	hasNext()
private boolean	isXPathNode(org.w3c.dom.Node node) Test whether a DOM node is usable by XPath.

Field Detail

node

private org.w3c.dom.Node node

Constructor Detail

DocumentNavigator.NodeIterator

public DocumentNavigator.NodeIterator(org.w3c.dom.Node contextNode)

Constructor.

Parameters:

contextNode - the starting node

Method Detail

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Specified by:

hasNext in interface java.util.Iterator

next

public java.lang.Object next()

Specified by:

next in interface java.util.Iterator

remove

public void remove()

Specified by:

remove in interface java.util.Iterator

getFirstNode

protected abstract org.w3c.dom.Node getFirstNode(org.w3c.dom.Node contextNode)

Get the first node for iteration.

This method must derive an initial node for iteration from a context node.

Parameters:

contextNode - the starting node

Returns:

the first node in the iteration

See Also:

getNextNode(org.w3c.dom.Node)

getNextNode

protected abstract org.w3c.dom.Node getNextNode(org.w3c.dom.Node contextNode)

Get the next node for iteration.

This method must locate a following node from the current context node.

Parameters:

contextNode - the current node in the iteration

Returns:

the following node in the iteration, or null if there is none

See Also:

getFirstNode(org.w3c.dom.Node)

isXPathNode

private boolean isXPathNode(org.w3c.dom.Node node)

Test whether a DOM node is usable by XPath.

Parameters:

node - the DOM node to test

Returns:

true if the node is usable, false if it should be skipped
