Class DomIterator
- EventListener, NodeIterator
public final class DomIterator
extends java.lang.Object
  "NodeIterator" implementation, usable with any L2 DOM which
 supports MutationEvents. 
| DomIterator(Node root, int whatToShow, NodeFilter filter, boolean entityReferenceExpansion) Constructs and initializes an iterator.
 | 
|  void | detach() DOM L2
 Flags the iterator as done, unregistering its event listener so
 that the iterator can be garbage collected without relying on weak
 references (a "Java 2" feature) in the event subsystem.
 | 
|  boolean | getExpandEntityReferences() DOM L2
 Returns the flag controlling whether iteration descends
 through entity references.
 | 
|  NodeFilter | getFilter() DOM L2
 Returns the filter provided during construction.
 | 
|  Node | getRoot() DOM L2
 Returns the root of the tree this is iterating through.
 | 
|  int | getWhatToShow() DOM L2
 Returns the mask of flags provided during construction.
 | 
|  void | handleEvent(Event e) Not for public use.
 | 
|  Node | nextNode() DOM L2
 Returns the next node in a forward iteration, masked and filtered.
 | 
|  Node | previousNode() DOM L2
 Returns the next node in a backward iteration, masked and filtered.

protected DomIterator(Node root,
                      int whatToShow,
                      NodeFilter filter,
                      boolean entityReferenceExpansion) Constructs and initializes an iterator.
detach
public void detach()
 DOM L2
 Flags the iterator as done, unregistering its event listener so
 that the iterator can be garbage collected without relying on weak
 references (a "Java 2" feature) in the event subsystem.

getExpandEntityReferences
public boolean getExpandEntityReferences()
 DOM L2
 Returns the flag controlling whether iteration descends
 through entity references.
- getExpandEntityReferences in interface NodeIterator
getRoot
public Node getRoot()
 DOM L2
 Returns the root of the tree this is iterating through.
- getRoot in interface NodeIterator
getWhatToShow
public int getWhatToShow()
 DOM L2
 Returns the mask of flags provided during construction.
- getWhatToShow in interface NodeIterator
handleEvent
public void handleEvent(Event e)
 Not for public use.  This lets the iterator know when its
 reference node will be removed from the tree, so that a new
 one may be selected.
 
 This version works by watching removal events as they
 bubble up.  So, don't prevent them from bubbling.
- handleEvent in interface EventListener
nextNode
public Node nextNode()
 DOM L2
 Returns the next node in a forward iteration, masked and filtered.
 Note that the node may be read-only due to entity expansions.
 A null return indicates the iteration is complete, but may still
 be processed backwards.
- nextNode in interface NodeIterator
previousNode
public Node previousNode()
 DOM L2
 Returns the next node in a backward iteration, masked and filtered.
 Note that the node may be read-only due to entity expansions.
 A null return indicates the iteration is complete, but may still
 be processed forwards.
