Class PrecedingAxisIterator
java.lang.Object
org.jaxen.util.PrecedingAxisIterator
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Iterator
- public class PrecedingAxisIterator
- extends Object
- implements Iterator
This implementation of 'preceding' works like so:
the preceding axis includes preceding-siblings of this node and their
descendants. Also, for each ancestor node of this node, it includes
all preceding-siblings of that ancestor, and their descendants. Finally, it
includes the ancestor nodes themselves.
The reversed descendant-or-self axes that are required are calculated using a
stack of reversed 'child-or-self' axes. When asked for a node, it is always taken
from a child-or-self axis. If it was the last node on that axis, the node is returned.
Otherwise, this axis is pushed on the stack, and the process is repeated with the child-or-self
of the node. Eventually this recurses down to the last descendant of any node, then works
back up to the root.
I reckon most object models could provide a faster implementation of the reversed
'children-or-self' used here.
