Class NodeSetDTM

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.xml.utils.NodeVector
      extended by org.apache.xpath.NodeSetDTM
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, DTMIterator
Direct Known Subclasses:
RTFIterator

public class NodeSetDTM
extends NodeVector
implements DTMIterator, java.lang.Cloneable

The NodeSetDTM class can act as either a NodeVector, NodeList, or NodeIterator. However, in order for it to act as a NodeVector or NodeList, it's required that setShouldCacheNodes(true) be called before the first nextNode() is called, in order that nodes can be added as they are fetched. Derived classes that implement iterators must override runTo(int index), in order that they may run the iteration to the given index.

Note that we directly implement the DOM's NodeIterator interface. We do not emulate all the behavior of the standard NodeIterator. In particular, we do not guarantee to present a "live view" of the document ... but in XSLT, the source document should never be mutated, so this should never be an issue.

Thought: Should NodeSetDTM really implement NodeList and NodeIterator, or should there be specific subclasses of it which do so? The advantage of doing it all here is that all NodeSetDTMs will respond to the same calls; the disadvantage is that some of them may return less-than-enlightening results when you do so.

Method Detail

setEnvironment

public void setEnvironment(java.lang.Object environment)
Set the environment in which this iterator operates, which should provide: a node (the context node... same value as "root" defined below) a pair of non-zero positive integers (the context position and the context size) a set of variable bindings a function library the set of namespace declarations in scope for the expression.

At this time the exact implementation of this environment is application dependent. Probably a proper interface will be created fairly soon.

Parameters:
environment - The environment object.

getRoot

public int getRoot()
Description copied from interface: DTMIterator
The root node of the DTMIterator, as specified when it was created. Note the root node is not the root node of the document tree, but the context node from where the iteration begins and ends.

Specified by:
getRoot in interface DTMIterator
Returns:
The root node of the Iterator, as specified when it was created. For non-Iterator NodeSetDTMs, this will be null.

setRoot

public void setRoot(int context,
                    java.lang.Object environment)
Initialize the context values for this expression after it is cloned.

Specified by:
setRoot in interface DTMIterator
Parameters:
context - The XPath runtime context for this transformation.
environment - The environment object. The environment in which this iterator operates, which should provide:
  • a node (the context node... same value as "root" defined below)
  • a pair of non-zero positive integers (the context position and the context size)
  • a set of variable bindings
  • a function library
  • the set of namespace declarations in scope for the expression.
    • At this time the exact implementation of this environment is application dependent. Probably a proper interface will be created fairly soon.


clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
Clone this NodeSetDTM. At this time, we only expect this to be used with LocPathIterators; it may not work with other kinds of NodeSetDTMs.

Specified by:
clone in interface DTMIterator
Overrides:
clone in class NodeVector
Returns:
a new NodeSetDTM of the same type, having the same state... though unless overridden in the subclasses, it may not copy all the state information.
Throws:
java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - if this subclass of NodeSetDTM does not support the clone() operation.

cloneWithReset

public DTMIterator cloneWithReset()
                           throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
Get a cloned Iterator, and reset its state to the beginning of the iteration.

Specified by:
cloneWithReset in interface DTMIterator
Returns:
a new NodeSetDTM of the same type, having the same state... except that the reset() operation has been called.
Throws:
java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - if this subclass of NodeSetDTM does not support the clone() operation.

reset

public void reset()
Reset the iterator. May have no effect on non-iterator Nodesets.

Specified by:
reset in interface DTMIterator

getWhatToShow

public int getWhatToShow()
This attribute determines which node types are presented via the iterator. The available set of constants is defined in the DTMFilter interface. For NodeSetDTMs, the mask has been hardcoded to show all nodes except EntityReference nodes, which have no equivalent in the XPath data model.

Specified by:
getWhatToShow in interface DTMIterator
Returns:
integer used as a bit-array, containing flags defined in the DOM's DTMFilter class. The value will be SHOW_ALL & ~SHOW_ENTITY_REFERENCE, meaning that only entity references are suppressed.

getFilter

public DTMFilter getFilter()
The filter object used to screen nodes. Filters are applied to further reduce (and restructure) the DTMIterator's view of the document. In our case, we will be using hardcoded filters built into our iterators... but getFilter() is part of the DOM's DTMIterator interface, so we have to support it.

Returns:
null, which is slightly misleading. True, there is no user-written filter object, but in fact we are doing some very sophisticated custom filtering. A DOM purist might suggest returning a placeholder object just to indicate that this is not going to return all nodes selected by whatToShow.

getExpandEntityReferences

public boolean getExpandEntityReferences()
The value of this flag determines whether the children of entity reference nodes are visible to the iterator. If false, they will be skipped over.
To produce a view of the document that has entity references expanded and does not expose the entity reference node itself, use the whatToShow flags to hide the entity reference node and set expandEntityReferences to true when creating the iterator. To produce a view of the document that has entity reference nodes but no entity expansion, use the whatToShow flags to show the entity reference node and set expandEntityReferences to false.

Specified by:
getExpandEntityReferences in interface DTMIterator
Returns:
true for all iterators based on NodeSetDTM, meaning that the contents of EntityRefrence nodes may be returned (though whatToShow says that the EntityReferences themselves are not shown.)

getDTM

public DTM getDTM(int nodeHandle)
Get an instance of a DTM that "owns" a node handle. Since a node iterator may be passed without a DTMManager, this allows the caller to easily get the DTM using just the iterator.

Specified by:
getDTM in interface DTMIterator
Parameters:
nodeHandle - the nodeHandle.
Returns:
a non-null DTM reference.

getDTMManager

public DTMManager getDTMManager()
Get an instance of the DTMManager. Since a node iterator may be passed without a DTMManager, this allows the caller to easily get the DTMManager using just the iterator.

Specified by:
getDTMManager in interface DTMIterator
Returns:
a non-null DTMManager reference.

nextNode

public int nextNode()
Returns the next node in the set and advances the position of the iterator in the set. After a DTMIterator is created, the first call to nextNode() returns the first node in the set.

Specified by:
nextNode in interface DTMIterator
Returns:
The next Node in the set being iterated over, or DTM.NULL if there are no more members in that set.
Throws:
DOMException - INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if this method is called after the detach method was invoked.

previousNode

public int previousNode()
Returns the previous node in the set and moves the position of the iterator backwards in the set.

Specified by:
previousNode in interface DTMIterator
Returns:
The previous Node in the set being iterated over, orDTM.NULL if there are no more members in that set.
Throws:
DOMException - INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if this method is called after the detach method was invoked.
java.lang.RuntimeException - thrown if this NodeSetDTM is not of a cached type, and hence doesn't know what the previous node was.

detach

public void detach()
Detaches the iterator from the set which it iterated over, releasing any computational resources and placing the iterator in the INVALID state. Afterdetach has been invoked, calls to nextNode orpreviousNode will raise the exception INVALID_STATE_ERR.

This operation is a no-op in NodeSetDTM, and will not cause INVALID_STATE_ERR to be raised by later operations.

Specified by:
detach in interface DTMIterator

allowDetachToRelease

public void allowDetachToRelease(boolean allowRelease)
Specify if it's OK for detach to release the iterator for reuse.

Specified by:
allowDetachToRelease in interface DTMIterator
Parameters:
allowRelease - true if it is OK for detach to release this iterator for pooling.

isFresh

public boolean isFresh()
Tells if this NodeSetDTM is "fresh", in other words, if the first nextNode() that is called will return the first node in the set.

Specified by:
isFresh in interface DTMIterator
Returns:
true if nextNode() would return the first node in the set, false if it would return a later one.

runTo

public void runTo(int index)
If an index is requested, NodeSetDTM will call this method to run the iterator to the index. By default this sets m_next to the index. If the index argument is -1, this signals that the iterator should be run to the end.

Specified by:
runTo in interface DTMIterator
Parameters:
index - Position to advance (or retreat) to, with 0 requesting the reset ("fresh") position and -1 (or indeed any out-of-bounds value) requesting the final position.
Throws:
java.lang.RuntimeException - thrown if this NodeSetDTM is not one of the types which supports indexing/counting.

item

public int item(int index)
Returns the indexth item in the collection. If index is greater than or equal to the number of nodes in the list, this returns null. TODO: What happens if index is out of range?

Specified by:
item in interface DTMIterator
Parameters:
index - Index into the collection.
Returns:
The node at the indexth position in the NodeList, or null if that is not a valid index.

getLength

public int getLength()
The number of nodes in the list. The range of valid child node indices is 0 to length-1 inclusive. Note that this operation requires finding all the matching nodes, which may defeat attempts to defer that work.

Specified by:
getLength in interface DTMIterator
Returns:
integer indicating how many nodes are represented by this list.

addNode

public void addNode(int n)
Add a node to the NodeSetDTM. Not all types of NodeSetDTMs support this operation

Parameters:
n - Node to be added
Throws:
java.lang.RuntimeException - thrown if this NodeSetDTM is not of a mutable type.

removeNode

public void removeNode(int n)
Remove a node.

Parameters:
n - Node to be added
Throws:
java.lang.RuntimeException - thrown if this NodeSetDTM is not of a mutable type.

addNodes

public void addNodes(DTMIterator iterator)
Copy NodeList members into this nodelist, adding in document order. Null references are not added.
