All Implemented Interfaces: NodeEnumeration
public class DistinctEnumeration extends java.lang.Object implements NodeEnumeration
An enumeration returning the distinct nodes from a supplied nodeset
Method Summary
boolean
hasMoreElements ()

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

hasMoreElements
public boolean hasMoreElements ()
Description copied from interface: NodeEnumeration
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).
Specified by: hasMoreElements
in interface NodeEnumeration
Following copied from interface: com.icl.saxon.om.NodeEnumeration
Returns: true if there are more nodes
nextElement
public NodeInfo nextElement ()
throws XPathException
Description copied from interface: NodeEnumeration
Get the next node in sequence.
(Note the term "Element" is used here in the sense of the standard Java Enumeration class,
it has nothing to do with XML elements).
Specified by: nextElement
in interface NodeEnumeration
Following copied from interface: com.icl.saxon.om.NodeEnumeration
Returns: the next NodeInfo
isSorted
public boolean isSorted ()
Description copied from interface: NodeEnumeration
Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be in document order
Specified by: isSorted
in interface NodeEnumeration
Following copied from interface: com.icl.saxon.om.NodeEnumeration
Returns: true if the nodes are guaranteed to be in document order.
isReverseSorted
public boolean isReverseSorted ()
Description copied from interface: NodeEnumeration
Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be in
reverse document order.
Specified by: isReverseSorted
in interface NodeEnumeration
Following copied from interface: com.icl.saxon.om.NodeEnumeration
Returns: true if the nodes are guaranteed to be in document order.
isPeer
public boolean isPeer ()
Description copied from interface: NodeEnumeration
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.
Specified by: isPeer
in interface NodeEnumeration
