Constructor Detail

MultiValuedNodeHeapIterator.HeapNode

public MultiValuedNodeHeapIterator.HeapNode()
Method Detail

step

public abstract int step()
Advance to the next node represented by this HeapNode
Returns:
the next DTM node.

cloneHeapNode

public MultiValuedNodeHeapIterator.HeapNode cloneHeapNode()
Creates a deep copy of this HeapNode. The clone is not reset from the current position of the original.
Returns:
the cloned heap node

setMark

public void setMark()
Remembers the current node for the next call to gotoMark().

gotoMark

public void gotoMark()
Restores the current node remembered by setMark().

isLessThan

public abstract boolean isLessThan(MultiValuedNodeHeapIterator.HeapNode heapNode)
Performs a comparison of the two heap nodes
Parameters:
heapNode - the heap node against which to compare
Returns:
true if and only if the current node for this heap node is before the current node of the argument heap node in document order.

setStartNode

public abstract MultiValuedNodeHeapIterator.HeapNode setStartNode(int node)
Sets context with respect to which this heap node is evaluated.
Parameters:
node - The new context node
Returns:
a HeapNode which may or may not be the same as this HeapNode.

reset

public abstract MultiValuedNodeHeapIterator.HeapNode reset()
Reset the heap node back to its beginning.
Returns:
a HeapNode which may or may not be the same as this HeapNode.
