DescendantContext(EvalContext parentContext, boolean includeSelf, NodeTest nodeTest)	Create a new DescendantContext.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
NodePointer	getCurrentNodePointer()	Returns the current context node.
boolean	isChildOrderingRequired()	Even if this context has the natural ordering and therefore does not require collecting and sorting all nodes prior to returning them, such operation may be required for any child context.
private boolean	isRecursive()	Checks if we are reentering a bean we have already seen and if so returns true to prevent infinite recursion.
boolean	nextNode()	Returns true if there is another object in the current set.
void	reset()	Sets current position = 0, which is the pre-iteration state.
boolean	setPosition(int position)	Moves the current position to the specified index.

Constructor Details

DescendantContext

public DescendantContext(EvalContext parentContext,
 boolean includeSelf,
 NodeTest nodeTest)

Create a new DescendantContext.

Parameters:

parentContext - parent context

includeSelf - whether to include this node

nodeTest - test

Method Details

isChildOrderingRequired

public boolean isChildOrderingRequired()

Description copied from class: EvalContext

Even if this context has the natural ordering and therefore does not require collecting and sorting all nodes prior to returning them, such operation may be required for any child context.

Overrides:

isChildOrderingRequired in class EvalContext

Returns:

boolean

getCurrentNodePointer

public NodePointer getCurrentNodePointer()

Description copied from class: EvalContext

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

Specified by:

getCurrentNodePointer in class EvalContext

Returns:

NodePoiner

reset

public void reset()

Description copied from class: EvalContext

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

Overrides:

reset 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

Parameters:

position - to set

Returns:

boolean

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.

Specified by:

nextNode in class EvalContext

Returns:

boolean

isRecursive

private boolean isRecursive()

Checks if we are reentering a bean we have already seen and if so returns true to prevent infinite recursion.

Returns:

boolean
