## com.icl.saxon.style
Class GroupActivation

    java.lang.Object
      com.icl.saxon.style.GroupActivation

All Implemented Interfaces:
  NodeEnumeration

public class GroupActivation
extends java.lang.Object
implements NodeEnumeration

GroupActivation represents one activation of a saxon:group loop. It is implemented as a NodeEnumeration with one extra method, the ability to test whether the value of a key on the current node is the same as the value of the key on the next node. Control over the iteration is shared between the saxon:group and saxon:item elements.

Constructor Summary
`GroupActivation(SAXONGroup group, Expression groupkey, NodeEnumeration nodes, Context c)`

Method Summary
`boolean` `hasMoreElements()` Determine whether there are more nodes to come.
`boolean` `isPeer()` Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be peers, that is, no node is a descendant or ancestor of another node.
`boolean` `isReverseSorted()` Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be in reverse document order.
`boolean` `isSorted()` Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be in document order
`NodeInfo` `nextElement()` Get the next node in sequence.
`boolean` `sameAsNext()`

Constructor Detail

### GroupActivation

    public GroupActivation(SAXONGroup group,
                           Expression groupkey,
                           NodeEnumeration nodes,
                           Context c)
                    throws XPathException

Method Detail

### hasMoreElements

    public boolean hasMoreElements()

  Description copied from interface: `NodeEnumeration`
  Determine whether there are more nodes to come.
  (Note the term "Element" is used here in the sense of the standard Java Enumeration class, it has nothing to do with XML elements).

  Specified by:
    `hasMoreElements` in interface `NodeEnumeration`
  Returns:
    true if there are more nodes

### nextElement

    public NodeInfo nextElement()
                         throws XPathException

  Description copied from interface: `NodeEnumeration`
  Get the next node in sequence.
  (Note the term "Element" is used here in the sense of the standard Java Enumeration class, it has nothing to do with XML elements).

  Specified by:
    `nextElement` in interface `NodeEnumeration`
  Returns:
    the next NodeInfo
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### sameAsNext

    public boolean sameAsNext()
                       throws XPathException

  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### isSorted

    public boolean isSorted()

  Description copied from interface: `NodeEnumeration`
  Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be in document order

  Specified by:
    `isSorted` in interface `NodeEnumeration`
  Returns:
    true if the nodes are guaranteed to be in document order.

### isReverseSorted

    public boolean isReverseSorted()

  Description copied from interface: `NodeEnumeration`
  Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be in reverse document order.

  Specified by:
    `isReverseSorted` in interface `NodeEnumeration`
  Returns:
    true if the nodes are guaranteed to be in document order.

### isPeer

    public boolean isPeer()

  Description copied from interface: `NodeEnumeration`
  Determine whether the nodes returned by this enumeration are known to be peers, that is, no node is a descendant or ancestor of another node. This significance of this property is that if a peer enumeration is applied to each node in a set derived from another peer enumeration, and if both enumerations are sorted, then the result is also sorted.

  Specified by:
    `isPeer` in interface `NodeEnumeration`
