## net.sf.saxon.expr
Class EveryItemMappingIterator

    java.lang.Object
      net.sf.saxon.expr.EveryItemMappingIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:
  SequenceIterator

    public final class EveryItemMappingIterator

extends Object
implements SequenceIterator

EveryItemMappingIterator applies a mapping function to each item in a sequence. The mapping function always returns a single item (never null)

This is a specialization of the more general MappingIterator class, for use in cases where a single input item always maps to exactly one output item

Field Summary

Fields inherited from interface net.sf.saxon.om.SequenceIterator
`GROUNDED, LAST_POSITION_FINDER, LOOKAHEAD`

Constructor Summary
`EveryItemMappingIterator(SequenceIterator base, ItemMappingFunction action)` Construct an ItemMappingIterator that will apply a specified ItemMappingFunction to each Item returned by the base iterator.

Method Summary
`void` | `close()` Close the iterator.
`Item` | `current()` Get the current value in the sequence (the one returned by the most recent call on next()).
`SequenceIterator` | `getAnother()` Get another SequenceIterator that iterates over the same items as the original, but which is repositioned at the start of the sequence.
`int` | `getProperties()` Get properties of this iterator, as a bit-significant integer.
`Item` | `next()` Get the next item in the sequence.
`int` | `position()` Get the current position.

Constructor Detail

### EveryItemMappingIterator

    public EveryItemMappingIterator(SequenceIterator base,
                                    ItemMappingFunction action)

  Construct an ItemMappingIterator that will apply a specified ItemMappingFunction to each Item returned by the base iterator.

  Parameters:
    `base` - the base iterator
    `action` - the mapping function to be applied

Method Detail

### next

    public Item next()
              throws XPathException

  Description copied from interface: `SequenceIterator`
  Get the next item in the sequence. This method changes the state of the iterator, in particular it affects the result of subsequent calls of position() and current().

  Specified by:
    `next` in interface `SequenceIterator`
  Returns:
    the next item, or null if there are no more items. Once a call on next() has returned null, no further calls should be made. The preferred action for an iterator if subsequent calls on next() are made is to return null again, and all implementations within Saxon follow this rule.
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if an error occurs retrieving the next item

### current

    public Item current()

  Description copied from interface: `SequenceIterator`
  Get the current value in the sequence (the one returned by the most recent call on next()). This will be null before the first call of next(). This method does not change the state of the iterator.

  Specified by:
    `current` in interface `SequenceIterator`
  Returns:
    the current item, the one most recently returned by a call on next(). Returns null if next() has not been called, or if the end of the sequence has been reached.

### position

    public int position()

  Description copied from interface: `SequenceIterator`
  Get the current position. This will usually be zero before the first call on next(), otherwise it will be the number of times that next() has been called. Once next() has returned null, the preferred action is for subsequent calls on position() to return -1, but not all existing implementations follow this practice. (In particular, the EmptyIterator is stateless, and always returns 0 as the value of position(), whether or not next() has been called.)

  This method does not change the state of the iterator.

  Specified by:
    `position` in interface `SequenceIterator`
  Returns:
    the current position, the position of the item returned by the most recent call of next(). This is 1 after next() has been successfully called once, 2 after it has been called twice, and so on. If next() has never been called, the method returns zero. If the end of the sequence has been reached, the value returned will always be <= 0; the preferred value is -1.

### close

    public void close()

  Description copied from interface: `SequenceIterator`
  Close the iterator. This indicates to the supplier of the data that the client does not require any more items to be delivered by the iterator. This may enable the supplier to release resources. After calling close(), no further calls on the iterator should be made; if further calls are made, the effect of such calls is undefined.

  (Currently, closing an iterator is important only when the data is being "pushed" in another thread. Closing the iterator terminates that thread and means that it needs to do no additional work. Indeed, failing to close the iterator may cause the push thread to hang waiting for the buffer to be emptied.)

  Specified by:
    `close` in interface `SequenceIterator`

### getAnother

    public SequenceIterator getAnother()
                                throws XPathException

  Description copied from interface: `SequenceIterator`
  Get another SequenceIterator that iterates over the same items as the original, but which is repositioned at the start of the sequence.

  This method allows access to all the items in the sequence without disturbing the current position of the iterator. Internally, its main use is in evaluating the last() function.

  This method does not change the state of the iterator.

  Specified by:
    `getAnother` in interface `SequenceIterator`
  Returns:
    a SequenceIterator that iterates over the same items, positioned before the first item
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any error occurs

### getProperties

    public int getProperties()

  Get properties of this iterator, as a bit-significant integer.

  Specified by:
    `getProperties` in interface `SequenceIterator`
  Returns:
    the properties of this iterator. This will be some combination of properties such as `SequenceIterator.GROUNDED`, `SequenceIterator.LAST_POSITION_FINDER`, and `SequenceIterator.LOOKAHEAD`. It is always acceptable to return the value zero, indicating that there are no known special properties. It is acceptable for the properties of the iterator to change depending on its state.
