All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Remote, RemoteIterator

public class ArrayIterator
extends Object
implements RemoteIterator, Serializable

A simple array-based remote iterator. Used when the iteration is short enough for all the elements to be sent over the network in one go.

Constructor Detail

ArrayIterator

public ArrayIterator(Object[] elements)

Creates an array-based remote iterator from the given array of remote references or serializable objects.

Parameters:

elements - elements of the iteration

Method Detail

getSize

public long getSize()

Returns the size of the iterator.

Specified by:

getSize in interface RemoteIterator

Returns:

length of the iterator

See Also:

RemoteIterator.getSize()

skip

public void skip(long items)
          throws IllegalArgumentException,
                 NoSuchElementException

Skips the first items elements in the array. Skips the given number of elements in this iteration.

Specified by:

skip in interface RemoteIterator

Parameters:

items - number of elements to skip

Throws:

NoSuchElementException - if skipped past the last element

IllegalArgumentException

See Also:

RangeIterator.skip(long)

nextObjects

public Object[] nextObjects()
                     throws IllegalArgumentException

Returns the underlying array. Returns an array of remote references to the next elements in this iterator. Returns null if the end of this iteration has been reached.

To reduce the amount of remote method calls, this method returns an array of one or more elements in this iteration.

Specified by:

nextObjects in interface RemoteIterator

Returns:

array of remote references, or null

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if maxItems is not positive
