public interface XPathResult
XPathResult
interface represents the result of the
evaluation of an XPath 1.0 expression within the context of a particular
node. Since evaluation of an XPath expression can result in various
result types, this object makes it possible to discover and manipulate
the type and value of the result.
See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 XPath Specification.
Field Summary | |
---|---|
static short | ANY_TYPE
This code does not represent a specific type. |
static short | ANY_UNORDERED_NODE_TYPE |
static short | BOOLEAN_TYPE |
static short | FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE |
static short | NUMBER_TYPE |
static short | ORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE
The result is a node set as defined by [XPath 1.0] that
will be accessed iteratively, which will produce document-ordered
nodes. |
static short | ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE |
static short | STRING_TYPE |
static short | UNORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE |
static short | UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE |
Method Summary | |
---|---|
boolean | getBooleanValue()
The value of this boolean result. |
boolean | getInvalidIteratorState()
Signifies that the iterator has become invalid. |
double | getNumberValue()
The value of this number result. |
short | getResultType()
A code representing the type of this result, as defined by the type
constants. |
Node | getSingleNodeValue()
The value of this single node result, which may be null . |
int | getSnapshotLength()
The number of nodes in the result snapshot. |
String | getStringValue()
The value of this string result. |
Node | iterateNext()
Iterates and returns the next node from the node set or
null if there are no more nodes. |
Node | snapshotItem(int index)
Returns the index th item in the snapshot collection. |
ANY_TYPE
was
requested, then UNORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE
is always
the resulting type. Any other representation of a node set must be
explicitly requested.null
if
the node set is empty. Document modification does not invalidate the
node, but may mean that the result node no longer corresponds to the
current document. This is a convenience that permits optimization
since the implementation can stop once any node in the resulting set
has been found.
null
if
the node set is empty. Document modification does not invalidate the
node, but may mean that the result node no longer corresponds to the
current document. This is a convenience that permits optimization
since the implementation can stop once the first node in document
order of the resulting set has been found.

INVALID_STATE_ERR: The document has been mutated since the result was
returned.
index
th item in the snapshot collection. If
index
is greater than or equal to the number of nodes in
the list, this method returns null
. Unlike the iterator
result, the snapshot does not become invalid, but may not correspond
to the current document if it is mutated.Parameters: index Index into the snapshot collection.
Returns: The node at the index
th position in the
NodeList

if that is not a valid
index.
Throws: XPathException
