Class AncestorEnumeration
- AxisEnumeration, LastPositionFinder, NodeEnumeration
(package private) final class AncestorEnumeration
This class enumerates the ancestor:: or ancestor-or-self:: axes,
starting at a given node. The start node will never be the root.
int | getLastPosition() - Get the last position, that is the number of nodes in the enumeration
|
boolean | hasMoreElements() - Determine whether there are more nodes to come.
|
boolean | isPeer() - Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be peers, that is,
no node is a descendant or ancestor of another node.
|
boolean | isReverseSorted() - Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be in
reverse document order.
|
boolean | isSorted() - Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be in document order
|
NodeInfo | nextElement() - Get the next node in sequence.

hasMoreElements
public boolean hasMoreElements()
Determine whether there are more nodes to come.
(Note the term "Element" is used here in the sense of the standard Java Enumeration class,
it has nothing to do with XML elements).
- hasMoreElements in interface AxisEnumeration
- hasMoreElements in interface NodeEnumeration
- true if there are more nodes
isPeer
public boolean isPeer()
Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be peers, that is,
no node is a descendant or ancestor of another node. This significance of this property is
that if a peer enumeration is applied to each node in a set derived from another peer
enumeration, and if both enumerations are sorted, then the result is also sorted.
- isPeer in interface NodeEnumeration
isReverseSorted
public boolean isReverseSorted()
Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be in
reverse document order.
- isReverseSorted in interface NodeEnumeration
- true if the nodes are guaranteed to be in document order.
isSorted
public boolean isSorted()
Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be in document order
- isSorted in interface NodeEnumeration
- true if the nodes are guaranteed to be in document order.
