Interface FeatureIterator<F extends Feature>

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable

All Known Subinterfaces:

IMappingFeatureIterator, SimpleFeatureIterator

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractMappingFeatureIterator, ComplexFeatureIteratorImpl, ContentFeatureCollection.WrappingFeatureIterator, DataAccessMappingFeatureIterator, DecoratingFeatureIterator, DecoratingSimpleFeatureIterator, DelegateFeatureIterator, DelegateSimpleFeatureIterator, FeatureIteratorImpl, FilteredIterator, FilteringFeatureIterator, FilteringSimpleFeatureIterator, ForceCoordinateSystemIterator, MappingAttributeIterator, MaxFeaturesIterator, MaxFeaturesSimpleFeatureIterator, PostFilteringMappingFeatureIterator, PreGeneralizedFeatureIterator, ReprojectFeatureIterator, ReprojectingFeatureIterator, ReTypingFeatureIterator, SampleDataAccessFeatureIterator, SimpleFeatureIteratorImpl, SortedFeatureIterator, WrappingIterator, XmlMappingFeatureIterator

public interface FeatureIterator<F extends Feature>
extends Closeable

Streaming access to features, required to close() after use.

FeatureIterator is a drop in replacement for Iterator supporting a close method.

Sample use:

 FeatureIterator i = featureCollection.features()
 try {
    while( i.hasNext() ){
        SimpleFeature feature = i.next();
    }
 }
 finally {
    i.close();
 }

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	close() Closes this iterator and releases any system resources associated with it.
boolean	hasNext() Does another Feature exist in this Iteration.
F	next() Get the next Feature in this iteration.

Method Detail

hasNext

boolean hasNext()

Does another Feature exist in this Iteration.

Iterator defin: Returns true if the iteration has more elements. (In other words, returns true if next would return an element rather than throwing an exception.)

Returns:

true if more Features exist, false otherwise.

next

F next()
throws NoSuchElementException

Get the next Feature in this iteration.

Returns:

The next Feature

Throws:

NoSuchElementException - If no more Features exist.

close

void close()

Closes this iterator and releases any system resources associated with it.
