public class EmptyIterator
extends Object
implements AxisIterator, ReversibleIterator, LastPositionFinder, GroundedIterator, LookaheadIterator
EmptyIterator: an iterator over an empty sequence. Since such an iterator has no state,
only one instance is required; therefore a singleton instance is available via the static
getInstance() method.

Method Details
-
getInstance
Get an EmptyIterator, an iterator over an empty sequence.- Returns:
- an EmptyIterator (in practice, this always returns the same one)
-
moveNext
public boolean moveNext()Move to the next node, without returning it. Returns true if there is a next node, false if the end of the sequence has been reached. After calling this method, the current node may be retrieved using the current() function.- Specified by:
moveNext
in interfaceAxisIterator
-
next
Get the next item.- Specified by:
next
in interfaceSequenceIterator
- Specified by:
next
in interfaceUnfailingIterator
- Returns:
- the next item. For the EmptyIterator this is always null.
-
current
Get the current item, that is, the item returned by the most recent call of next().- Specified by:
current
in interfaceSequenceIterator
- Specified by:
current
in interfaceUnfailingIterator
- Returns:
- the current item. For the EmptyIterator this is always null.
-
position
public int position()Get the position of the current item.- Specified by:
position
in interfaceSequenceIterator
- Specified by:
position
in interfaceUnfailingIterator
- Returns:
- the position of the current item. For the EmptyIterator this is always zero (whether or not the next() method has been called).
-
getLastPosition
public int getLastPosition()Get the position of the last item in the sequence.- Specified by:
getLastPosition
in interfaceLastPositionFinder
- Returns:
- the position of the last item in the sequence, always zero in this implementation
-
close
public void close()Description copied from interface:SequenceIterator
Close the iterator. This indicates to the supplier of the data that the client does not require any more items to be delivered by the iterator. This may enable the supplier to release resources. After calling close(), no further calls on the iterator should be made; if further calls are made, the effect of such calls is undefined.(Currently, closing an iterator is important only when the data is being "pushed" in another thread. Closing the iterator terminates that thread and means that it needs to do no additional work. Indeed, failing to close the iterator may cause the push thread to hang waiting for the buffer to be emptied.)
- Specified by:
close
in interfaceSequenceIterator
-
iterateAxis
Return an iterator over an axis, starting at the current node.- Specified by:
iterateAxis
in interfaceAxisIterator
- Parameters:
axis
- the axis to iterate over, using a constant such asAxis.CHILD
test
- a predicate to apply to the nodes before returning them.- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if there is no current node
-
atomize
Return the atomized value of the current node.- Specified by:
atomize
in interfaceAxisIterator
- Returns:
- the atomized value.
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if there is no current nodeXPathException
-
getStringValue
Return the string value of the current node.- Specified by:
getStringValue
in interfaceAxisIterator
- Returns:
- the string value, as an instance of CharSequence.
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if there is no current node
-
getAnother
Get another iterator over the same items, positioned at the start.- Specified by:
getAnother
in interfaceSequenceIterator
- Specified by:
getAnother
in interfaceUnfailingIterator
- Returns:
- another iterator over an empty sequence (in practice, it returns the same iterator each time)
-
getReverseIterator
Get another iterator over the same items, in reverse order.- Specified by:
getReverseIterator
in interfaceReversibleIterator
- Returns:
- a reverse iterator over an empty sequence (in practice, it returns the same iterator each time)
-
getProperties
public int getProperties()Get properties of this iterator, as a bit-significant integer.- Specified by:
getProperties
in interfaceSequenceIterator
- Returns:
- the properties of this iterator. This will be some combination of
properties such as
SequenceIterator.GROUNDED
,SequenceIterator.LAST_POSITION_FINDER
, andSequenceIterator.LOOKAHEAD
. It is always acceptable to return the value zero, indicating that there are no known special properties. It is acceptable for the properties of the iterator to change depending on its state.
-
materialize
Return a Value containing all the items in the sequence returned by this SequenceIterator. This should be an "in-memory" value, not a Closure.- Specified by:
materialize
in interfaceGroundedIterator
- Returns:
- the corresponding Value
-
hasNext
public boolean hasNext()Determine whether there are more items to come. Note that this operation is stateless and it is not necessary (or usual) to call it before calling next(). It is used only when there is an explicit need to tell if we are at the last element.- Specified by:
hasNext
in interfaceLookaheadIterator
- Returns:
- true if there are more nodes
-
