SMInputCursor

public static enum SMInputCursor.Tracking
extends java.lang.Enum<SMInputCursor.Tracking>

This enumeration lists different tracking behaviors available for cursors. Tracking is a feature that can be used to store information about traversed sub-trees, to allow for a limited access to information that is not limited to ancestor stack. Using tracking will consume more memory, but generally less than constructing a full in-memory tree object model (such as DOM), since it the represenation is compact, read-only, and only subset of a full tree. Size (and hence memory overhead) of that sub-tree depends on tracking settings.

Enum Constant Summary

ALL_SIBLINGS
Value that indicates full element state information should be tracked for ALL elements (including ones not visible to the caller via SMInputCursor.getNext() method).

NONE
Value that indicates that no element state information should be tracked.

PARENTS
Value that indicates that element basic state information should be tracked, including linkage to the parent element (but only if the parent cursor was tracking elements).

VISIBLE_SIBLINGS
Value that indicates full element state information should be tracked for all "visible" elements: visible meaning that element node was accepted by the filter this cursor uses.

Method Summary

static SMInputCursor.Tracking	valueOf(java.lang.String name) Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static SMInputCursor.Tracking[]	values() Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared.

Enum Constant Detail

NONE

public static final SMInputCursor.Tracking NONE

Value that indicates that no element state information should be tracked. This means that SMInputCursor.getTrackedElement() will always return null for this element, as well as that if immediate child cursors do have tracking enabled, element states it saves have no parent element information available.

PARENTS

public static final SMInputCursor.Tracking PARENTS

Value that indicates that element basic state information should be tracked, including linkage to the parent element (but only if the parent cursor was tracking elements). This means that SMInputCursor.getTrackedElement() will return non-null values, as soon as this cursor has been advanced over its first element node. However, element will return null from its SMElementInfo.getPreviousSibling() since sibling information is not tracked.

VISIBLE_SIBLINGS

public static final SMInputCursor.Tracking VISIBLE_SIBLINGS

Value that indicates full element state information should be tracked for all "visible" elements: visible meaning that element node was accepted by the filter this cursor uses. This means that SMInputCursor.getTrackedElement() will return non-null values, as soon as this cursor has been advanced over its first element node, and that element will return non-null from its SMElementInfo.getPreviousSibling() unless it's the first element iterated by this cursor.

ALL_SIBLINGS

public static final SMInputCursor.Tracking ALL_SIBLINGS

Value that indicates full element state information should be tracked for ALL elements (including ones not visible to the caller via SMInputCursor.getNext() method). This means that SMInputCursor.getTrackedElement() will return non-null values, as soon as this cursor has been advanced over its first element node, and that element will return non-null from its SMElementInfo.getPreviousSibling() unless it's the first element iterated by this cursor.

Method Detail

values

public static final SMInputCursor.Tracking[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for(SMInputCursor.Tracking c : SMInputCursor.Tracking.values())
        System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared

valueOf

public static SMInputCursor.Tracking valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
