public class IteratorCursor<E>
extends AbstractCursor<E>

A limited Cursor over an Iterator of elements.

Constructor Summary
IteratorCursor(java.util.Iterator<E> values)
           
 
Method Summary
 void after(E element)
          Prepares this Cursor, so a subsequent call to Cursor#previous() with a true return value, will have positioned the Cursor on a dataset element equal to or less than the element argument but not greater.
 void afterLast()
          Positions this Curser after the last element.
 boolean available()
          Determines whether or not a call to get() will succeed.
 void before(E element)
          Prepares this Cursor, so a subsequent call to Cursor#next() with a true return value, will have positioned the Cursor on a dataset element equal to or less than the element argument but not greater.
 void beforeFirst()
          Positions this Curser before the first element.
 boolean first()
          Positions this Curser at the first element.
 E get()
          Gets the object at the current position.
 boolean isElementReused()
          Gets whether or not this Cursor will return the same element object instance on get() operations for any position of this Cursor.
 boolean last()
          Positions this Curser at the last element.
 boolean next()
          Advances this Cursor to the next position.
 boolean previous()
          Advances this Cursor to the previous position.

Constructor Detail

IteratorCursor

public IteratorCursor(java.util.Iterator<E> values)
Method Detail

available

public boolean available()
Description copied from interface: Cursor
Determines whether or not a call to get() will succeed.

Returns:
true if the cursor is valid get() will succeed, false otherwise

before

public void before(E element)
Description copied from interface: Cursor
Prepares this Cursor, so a subsequent call to Cursor#next() with a true return value, will have positioned the Cursor on a dataset element equal to or less than the element argument but not greater. A call to Cursor#previous() with a true return value will position the Cursor on a dataset element less than the argument. If Cursor#next() returns false then the Cursor is past the last element and so all values in the dataset are less than the argument. If Cursor#previous() returns false then the Cursor is positioned before the first element and all elements in the dataset are greater than the argument.

Parameters:
element - the element to be positioned before

after

public void after(E element)
Description copied from interface: Cursor
Prepares this Cursor, so a subsequent call to Cursor#previous() with a true return value, will have positioned the Cursor on a dataset element equal to or less than the element argument but not greater. A call to Cursor#next() with a true return value will position the Cursor on a dataset element greater than the argument. If Cursor#next() returns false then the Cursor is past the last element and so all values in the dataset are less than or equal to the argument. If Cursor#previous() returns false then the Cursor is positioned before the first element and all elements in the dataset are greater than the argument.

Parameters:
element - the element to be positioned after

beforeFirst

public void beforeFirst()
Description copied from interface: Cursor
Positions this Curser before the first element.


afterLast

public void afterLast()
Description copied from interface: Cursor
Positions this Curser after the last element.


first

public boolean first()
Description copied from interface: Cursor
Positions this Curser at the first element.

Returns:
true if the position has been successfully changed to the first element, false otherwise

last

public boolean last()
Description copied from interface: Cursor
Positions this Curser at the last element.

Returns:
true if the position has been successfully changed to the last element, false otherwise

previous

public boolean previous()
Description copied from interface: Cursor
Advances this Cursor to the previous position. If called before explicitly positioning this Cursor, the position is presumed to be after the last element and this method moves the cursor back to the last element.

Returns:
true if the advance succeeded, false otherwise

next

public boolean next()
             throws java.lang.Exception
Description copied from interface: Cursor
Advances this Cursor to the next position. If called before explicitly positioning this Cursor, the position is presumed to be before the first element and this method moves the cursor forward to the first element.

Returns:
true if the advance succeeded, false otherwise
Throws:
java.lang.Exception - if there are problems advancing to this Cursor to the next position, or if this Cursor is closed
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if this method is not supported

get

public E get()
      throws java.lang.Exception
Description copied from interface: Cursor
Gets the object at the current position. Cursor implementations may choose to reuse element objects by re-populating them on advances instead of creating new objects on each advance.

Returns:
the object at the current position
Throws:
java.lang.Exception - if the object at this Cursor's current position cannot be retrieved, or if this Cursor is closed

isElementReused

public boolean isElementReused()
Description copied from interface: Cursor
Gets whether or not this Cursor will return the same element object instance on get() operations for any position of this Cursor. Some Cursor implementations may reuse the same element copying values into it for every position rather than creating and emiting new element objects on each advance. Some Cursor implementations may return different elements for each position yet the same element instance is returned for the same position. In these cases this method should return true.

Returns:
true if elements are reused by this Cursor
