Interface ResultItem

All Superinterfaces:

XdmItem, XdmValue

public interface ResultItem

extends XdmItem

An XdmItem that is a member of a ResultSequence. The values associated with ResultItem instances may be transient. ResultItem wraps an XdmItem instance and also implements the XdmItem interface. Invoking the methods of the XdmItem interface are passed through to the contained instance.

Because a ResultSequence may be streaming, the contained XdmItem may be have been partially consumed. Use the isFetchable() method to determine if it is safe to access the value.

Method Summary

void	cache() If this item is not already cached, read it fully from the result stream so that it is buffered in memory.
int	getIndex() The position (zero-based) of this ResultItem in its containing ResultSequence.
XdmItem	getItem() Returns the actual XdmItem value wrapped by this ResultItem.
boolean	isFetchable() Indicates if the value of this ResultItem may be fetched.

Method Detail

getItem

public XdmItem getItem()

Returns the actual XdmItem value wrapped by this ResultItem. The instance returned may be tested with instanceof.

Returns:

an instance of XdmItem.

getIndex

public int getIndex()

The position (zero-based) of this ResultItem in its containing ResultSequence.

Returns:

This ResultItem's positional index.

isFetchable

public boolean isFetchable()

Indicates if the value of this ResultItem may be fetched. For large values that are streamed, this method will return false after XdmItem.asInputStream() or XdmItem.asReader() is called.

Returns:

true if the XdmItem may be fetched, false if not. This will always be true if isCached() is true. It will also always be true immediately after ResultSequence.next() is called and returns this XdmItem.

cache

public void cache()

If this item is not already cached, read it fully from the result stream so that it is buffered in memory. If the item is already cached, this is a no-op.

Throws:

StreamingResultException - If an IOException ocurrs reading the result data.
