Method Detail

clear

public void clear()

add

public void add(Item item)

Description copied from interface: Sequence

Add an item to the current sequence. An XPathException may be thrown if the item's type is incompatible with this type of sequence (e.g. if the sequence is a node set). The sequence may or may not allow duplicate values.

Specified by:

add in interface Sequence

Specified by:

add in class AbstractSequence

addAll

public void addAll(Sequence otherSequence)

Description copied from interface: Sequence

Add all items of the other sequence to this item. An XPathException may be thrown if the type of the items in the other sequence is incompatible with the primary type of this sequence.

Specified by:

addAll in interface Sequence

Overrides:

addAll in class AbstractSequence

getItemType

public int getItemType()

Description copied from interface: Sequence

Return the primary type to which all items in this sequence belong. This is Type.NODE for node sets, Type.ITEM for other sequences with mixed items.

Specified by:

getItemType in interface Sequence

Specified by:

getItemType in class AbstractSequence

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate()

Description copied from interface: Sequence

Returns an iterator over all items in the sequence. The items are returned in document order where applicable.

Specified by:

iterate in interface Sequence

Specified by:

iterate in class AbstractSequence

unorderedIterator

public SequenceIterator unorderedIterator()

Description copied from interface: Sequence

Returns an iterator over all items in the sequence. The returned items may - but need not - to be in document order.

Specified by:

unorderedIterator in interface Sequence

Specified by:

unorderedIterator in class AbstractSequence

getLength

public int getLength()

Description copied from interface: Sequence

Returns the number of items contained in the sequence.

Specified by:

getLength in interface Sequence

Specified by:

getLength in class AbstractSequence

itemAt

public Item itemAt(int pos)

Description copied from interface: Sequence

Returns the item located at the specified position within this sequence. Items are counted beginning at 0.

Specified by:

itemAt in interface Sequence

Specified by:

itemAt in class AbstractSequence

toNodeSet

public NodeSet toNodeSet()
                  throws XPathException

Makes all in-memory nodes in this sequence persistent, so they can be handled like other node sets.

Returns:

Throws:

XPathException - if the sequence contains items which are not nodes.

Sequence.toNodeSet()

isPersistentSet

public boolean isPersistentSet()

Specified by:

isPersistentSet in interface Sequence

Overrides:

isPersistentSet in class AbstractSequence

sortInDocumentOrder

public void sortInDocumentOrder()

removeDuplicates

public void removeDuplicates()

Description copied from interface: Sequence

Explicitely remove all duplicate nodes from this sequence.

clearContext

public void clearContext(int contextId)

Description copied from interface: Sequence

For every item in the sequence, clear any context-dependant information that is stored during query processing. This feature is used for node sets, which may store information about their context node.

Specified by:

clearContext in interface Sequence

Overrides:

clearContext in class AbstractSequence

getDocumentSet

public DocumentSet getDocumentSet()

Description copied from interface: Sequence

Returns the set of documents from which the node items in this sequence have been selected. This is for internal use only.

Specified by:

getDocumentSet in interface Sequence

Overrides:

getDocumentSet in class AbstractSequence

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class AbstractSequence
