    public class IndexedValue

extends Value

A representation of a (sequence) value that allows the construction of one or more indexes to provide rapid access to the items in the sequence.

Constructor Detail

### IndexedValue

    public IndexedValue(SequenceIterator iter)
                 throws XPathException

  Construct an indexed value (that is, a value that is capable of being indexed). Initially there will be no indexes, these are added later.

  Parameters:
    `iter` - iterator over the items to be included in the indexed value
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if an error occurs reading the iterator

Method Detail

### iterate

    public SequenceIterator iterate()
                             throws XPathException

  Return an Iterator to iterate over the values of a sequence. The value of every expression can be regarded as a sequence, so this method is supported for all expressions. This default implementation handles iteration for expressions that return singleton values: for non-singleton expressions, the subclass must provide its own implementation.

  Specified by:
    `iterate` in class `Value`
  Returns:
    a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

### itemAt

    public Item itemAt(int n)
                throws XPathException

  Get the n'th item in the sequence (starting from 0). This is defined for all Values, but its real benefits come for a sequence Value stored extensionally (or for a MemoClosure, once all the values have been read)

  Overrides:
    `itemAt` in class `Value`
  Parameters:
    `n` - position of the required item, counting from zero.
  Returns:
    the n'th item in the sequence, where the first item in the sequence is numbered zero. If n is negative or >= the length of the sequence, returns null.
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### getLength

    public int getLength()
                  throws XPathException

  Get the length of the sequence

  Overrides:
    `getLength` in class `Value`
  Returns:
    the number of items in the sequence
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### findItems

    public SequenceIterator findItems(SequenceIterable use,
                                      SequenceIterator values,
                                      boolean convertUntypedToOther,
                                      boolean firstOnly,
                                      AtomicComparer comparer,
                                      XPathContext context)
                               throws XPathException

  Retrieve items that match a given index value

  Parameters:
    `use` - the expression whose value is to be matched
    `values` - the set of values to be found
    `convertUntypedToOther` - true if untypedAtomic values are to be converted to the type of the other operand
    `firstOnly` - true if only the first matching item is required
    `comparer` - AtomicComparer used to compare values for equality (encapsulates a collation if necessary)
    `context` - the dynamic evaluation context @return an iterator over the items that match the specified values
  Throws:
    `XPathException`
