DTMIterators
are used to step through a (possibly
filtered) set of nodes. Their API is modeled largely after the DOM
NodeIterator.
A DTMIterator is a somewhat unusual type of iterator, in that it
can serve both single node iteration and random access.
The DTMIterator's traversal semantics, i.e. how it walks the tree,
are specified when it is created, possibly and probably by an XPath
UnionExpr.
A DTMIterator is meant to be created once as a master static object, and
then cloned many times for runtime use. Or the master object itself may
be used for simpler use cases.
At this time, we do not expect DTMIterator to emulate
NodeIterator's "maintain relative position" semantics under
document mutation. It's likely to respond more like the
TreeWalker's "current node" semantics. However, since the base DTM
is immutable, this issue currently makes no practical
difference.
State: In progress!!

The environment in which this iterator operates, which should provide:

- a function library
- the set of namespace declarations in scope for the expression.
At this time the exact implementation of this environment is application
dependent. Probably a proper interface will be created fairly soon.

The value of this flag determines whether the children of entity
reference nodes are visible to the iterator. If false, they and
their descendants will be rejected. Note that this rejection takes
precedence over whatToShow
and the filter.
To produce a view of the document that has entity references
expanded and does not expose the entity reference node itself, use
the whatToShow
flags to hide the entity reference node
and set expandEntityReferences
to true when creating the
iterator. To produce a view of the document that has entity reference
nodes but no entity expansion, use the whatToShow
flags
to show the entity reference node and set
expandEntityReferences
to false.
NOTE: In Xalan's use of DTM we will generally have fully expanded
entity references when the document tree was built, and thus this
flag will have no effect.
Returns: true if entity references will be expanded.
