Class FilteringIterator<T>

java.lang.Object
  org.entityfs.util.itr.FilteringIterator<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterator<T>

public class FilteringIterator<T>
extends Object
implements Iterator<T>

An iterator that filters the results from another iterator. It can be used to filter returned entities from other iterators.

For instance, if you want all XML files in a directory hierarchy, create a recursive iterator on the root directory of the hierarchy, and filter the returned entities through an EFileNameExtensionFilter.

EntityFS iterators are not thread safe. Don't use them concurrently from several threads without synchronizing access to them.
