Constructor Details

AttributeContext

public AttributeContext(EvalContext parentContext,
                        NodeTest nodeTest)
Parameters:
parentContext - represents the previous step on the path

Method Details

getCurrentNodePointer

public NodePointer getCurrentNodePointer()
Returns the current context node. Undefined before the beginning of the iteration.
Overrides:
getCurrentNodePointer in interface EvalContext

nextNode

public boolean nextNode()
Returns true if there is another object in the current set. Switches the current position and node to the next object.
Overrides:
nextNode in interface EvalContext

reset

public void reset()
Sets current position = 0, which is the pre-iteration state.
Overrides:
reset in interface EvalContext

setPosition

public boolean setPosition(int position)
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 interface EvalContext
