Class DomNodeIterator
java.lang.Objectgnu.xml.dom.DomNodeIterator
- NodeIterator, TreeWalker
public class DomNodeIterator
extends java.lang.Object
Node iterator and tree walker.
DomNodeIterator
public DomNodeIterator(Node root,
int whatToShow,
NodeFilter filter,
boolean entityReferenceExpansion,
boolean walk)
detach
public void detach()
Detaches the NodeIterator from the set which it iterated
over, releasing any computational resources and placing the
NodeIterator in the INVALID state. After
detach has been invoked, calls to nextNode
or previousNode will raise the exception
INVALID_STATE_ERR.
- detach in interface NodeIterator
getExpandEntityReferences
public boolean getExpandEntityReferences()
The value of this flag determines whether the children of entity
reference nodes are visible to the NodeIterator. If
false, these children and their descendants will be rejected. Note
that this rejection takes precedence over whatToShow and
the filter. Also note that this is currently the only situation where
NodeIterators may reject a complete subtree rather than
skipping individual nodes.
To produce a view of the document that has entity references
expanded and does not expose the entity reference node itself, use
the whatToShow flags to hide the entity reference node
and set expandEntityReferences to true when creating the
NodeIterator. To produce a view of the document that has
entity reference nodes but no entity expansion, use the
whatToShow flags to show the entity reference node and
set expandEntityReferences to false.

- getExpandEntityReferences in interface TreeWalker
getWhatToShow
public int getWhatToShow()
This attribute determines which node types are presented via the
NodeIterator. The available set of constants is defined
in the NodeFilter interface. Nodes not accepted by
whatToShow will be skipped, but their children may still
be considered. Note that this skip takes precedence over the filter,
if any.

- getWhatToShow in interface TreeWalker
nextNode
public Node nextNode()
throws DOMException Returns the next node in the set and advances the position of the
NodeIterator in the set. After a
NodeIterator is created, the first call to
nextNode() returns the first node in the set.
- nextNode in interface NodeIterator
- nextNode in interface TreeWalker
- The next
Node in the set being iterated over, or
null if there are no more members in that set.
DOMException - INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if this method is called after the
detach method was invoked.
previousNode
public Node previousNode()
throws DOMException Returns the previous node in the set and moves the position of the
NodeIterator backwards in the set.
- previousNode in interface NodeIterator
- previousNode in interface TreeWalker
- The previous
Node in the set being iterated over,
or null if there are no more members in that set.
DOMException - INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if this method is called after the
detach method was invoked.
