A step iterator is used to evaluate expressions like "BOOK/TITLE". A better name for this iterator would have been ParentIterator since both "BOOK" and "TITLE" are steps in XPath lingo. Step iterators are constructed from two other iterators which we are going to refer to as "outer" and "inner". Every node from the outer iterator (the one for BOOK in our example) is used to initialize the inner iterator. After this initialization, every node from the inner iterator is returned (in essence, implementing a "nested loop").

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`DTMAxisIterator`	`cloneIterator()`	Returns a deep copy of this iterator.
`void`	`gotoMark()`	Restores the current node remembered by setMark().
`int`	`next()`	Get the next node in the iteration.
`DTMAxisIterator`	`reset()`	Resets the iterator to the last start node.
`void`	`setMark()`	Remembers the current node for the next call to gotoMark().
`void`	`setRestartable(boolean isRestartable)`	Set if restartable.
`DTMAxisIterator`	`setStartNode(int node)`	Set start to END should 'close' the iterator, i.e. subsequent call to next() should return END.

```
- Method Detail
  - setRestartable
```
public void setRestartable(boolean isRestartable)
```
    Description copied from interface: DTMAxisIterator
    
    Set if restartable.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setRestartable in interface DTMAxisIterator
    
    Overrides:
    
    setRestartable in class DTMAxisIteratorBase
  - cloneIterator
```
public DTMAxisIterator cloneIterator()
```
    Description copied from class: DTMAxisIteratorBase
    
    Returns a deep copy of this iterator. Cloned iterators may not be restartable. The iterator being cloned may or may not become non-restartable as a side effect of this operation.
    
    Specified by:
    
    cloneIterator in interface DTMAxisIterator
    
    Overrides:
    
    cloneIterator in class DTMAxisIteratorBase
    
    Returns:
    
    a deep copy of this iterator.
  - setStartNode
```
public DTMAxisIterator setStartNode(int node)
```
    Description copied from interface: DTMAxisIterator
    
    Set start to END should 'close' the iterator, i.e. subsequent call to next() should return END.
    
    Parameters:
    
    node - Sets the root of the iteration.
    
    Returns:
    
    A DTMAxisIterator set to the start of the iteration.
  - reset
```
public DTMAxisIterator reset()
```
    Description copied from interface: DTMAxisIterator
    
    Resets the iterator to the last start node.
    
    Specified by:
    
    reset in interface DTMAxisIterator
    
    Overrides:
    
    reset in class DTMAxisIteratorBase
    
    Returns:
    
    A DTMAxisIterator which has been reset to the start node, which may or may not be the same as this iterator.
  - next
```
public int next()
```
    Description copied from interface: DTMAxisIterator
    
    Get the next node in the iteration.
    
    Returns:
    
    The next node handle in the iteration, or END.
  - setMark
```
public void setMark()
```
    Description copied from interface: DTMAxisIterator
    
    Remembers the current node for the next call to gotoMark().
  - gotoMark
```
public void gotoMark()
```
    Description copied from interface: DTMAxisIterator
    
    Restores the current node remembered by setMark().
