Method Detail

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.

Overrides:

nextNode 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

getCurrentNodePointer

public NodePointer getCurrentNodePointer()

Description copied from class: EvalContext

Returns the current context node. Undefined before the beginning of the iteration.

Overrides:

getCurrentNodePointer in class EvalContext

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from class: EvalContext

Sets current position = 0, which is the pre-iteration state.

Overrides:

reset in class EvalContext

nextSet

public boolean nextSet()

Description copied from class: EvalContext

Returns true if there is another sets of objects to interate over. Resets the current position and node.

Overrides:

nextSet in class EvalContext
