Package net.sf.saxon.expr.sort

Class SortedGroupIterator

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.expr.sort.SortedIterator

net.sf.saxon.expr.sort.SortedGroupIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

LastPositionFinder, GroupIterator, Sortable, SequenceIterator, LookaheadIterator

public class SortedGroupIterator
extends SortedIterator
implements GroupIterator

A SortedGroupIterator is a modified SortedIterator. It sorts a sequence of groups, and is itself a GroupIterator. The modifications retain extra information about the items being sorted. The items are each the leading item of a group, and as well as the item itself, the iterator preserves information about the group: specifically, an iterator over the items in the group, and the value of the grouping key (if any).

Constructor Detail

SortedGroupIterator

public SortedGroupIterator(XPathContext context,
                           GroupIterator base,
                           SortKeyEvaluator sortKeyEvaluator,
                           AtomicComparer[] comparators)

Method Detail

buildArray

protected void buildArray()
                   throws XPathException

Override the method that builds the array of values and sort keys.

Overrides:

buildArray in class SortedIterator

Throws:

XPathException

getCurrentGroupingKey

public Value getCurrentGroupingKey()

Description copied from interface: GroupIterator

Get the grouping key of the current group

Specified by:

getCurrentGroupingKey in interface GroupIterator

Returns:

the current grouping key in the case of group-by or group-adjacent, or null in the case of group-starting-with and group-ending-with

iterateCurrentGroup

public SequenceIterator iterateCurrentGroup()
                                     throws XPathException

Description copied from interface: GroupIterator

Get an iterator over the members of the current group, in population order. This must always be a clean iterator, that is, an iterator that starts at the first item of the group.

Specified by:

iterateCurrentGroup in interface GroupIterator

Returns:

an iterator over all the members of the current group, in population order.

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs
