Class SortedGroupIterator

java.lang.Object
net.sf.saxon.expr.sort.SortedIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable, LastPositionFinder, GroupIterator, 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).

    • 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 - in the event of a dynamic error
    • getCurrentGroupingKey

      public AtomicSequence 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
