Constructor Detail

AbstractOrderByClause

protected AbstractOrderByClause(AbstractExpression parent,
                                java.lang.String identifier)

Creates a new AbstractOrderByClause.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this expression

identifier - The JPQL identifier representing an ordering clause

Method Detail

acceptChildren

public void acceptChildren(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

Visits the children of this Expression. This method can be used to optimize traversing the children since a new list is not created every time Expression.children() is called.

This does not traverse the Expression sub-hierarchy, use a subclass of AbstractTraverseChildrenVisitor in order to traverse the entire sub-hierarchy.

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor to visit the children of this object.

addChildrenTo

protected void addChildrenTo(java.util.Collection<Expression> children)

Adds the children of this AbstractExpression to the given collection.

Overrides:

addChildrenTo in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

children - The collection used to store the children

addOrderedChildrenTo

protected void addOrderedChildrenTo(java.util.List<Expression> children)

Adds the children of this AbstractExpression to the given list.

Overrides:

addOrderedChildrenTo in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

children - The list used to store the string representation of this AbstractExpression

buildCollectionExpression

public final CollectionExpression buildCollectionExpression()

Creates a new CollectionExpression that will wrap the single order by item.

Returns:

The single order by item represented by a temporary collection

findQueryBNF

public final JPQLQueryBNF findQueryBNF(Expression expression)

Retrieves the JPQLQueryBNF that represents the fragment of this Expression that was used when parsing the given Expression.

Specified by:

findQueryBNF in interface Expression

Overrides:

findQueryBNF in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

expression - The Expression that is a descendant of this one

Returns:

The JPQLQueryBNF that was used to parse the given expression

getActualIdentifier

public final java.lang.String getActualIdentifier()

Returns the actual identifier found in the string representation of the JPQL query, which has the actual case that was used.

Returns:

The actual identifier that was actually parsed

getOrderByItems

public final Expression getOrderByItems()

Returns the Expression representing the list of items to order.

Returns:

The expression representing the list of items to order

hasOrderByItems

public final boolean hasOrderByItems()

Determines whether the list of items to order was parsed.

Returns:

true the list of items to order was parsed; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterIdentifier

public final boolean hasSpaceAfterIdentifier()

Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after the identifier.

Returns:

true if a whitespace was parsed after the identifier; false otherwise

parse

protected void parse(WordParser wordParser,
                     boolean tolerant)

Parses the query by starting at the current position, which is part of the given WordParser.

Specified by:

parse in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

wordParser - The text to parse based on the current position of the cursor

tolerant - Determines whether the parsing system should be tolerant, meaning if it should try to parse invalid or incomplete queries

toParsedText

protected void toParsedText(java.lang.StringBuilder writer,
                            boolean actual)

Generates a string representation of this Expression, including its children, if it has any.

Specified by:

toParsedText in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

writer - The buffer used to append this Expression's string representation

actual - Determines whether the string representation should represent what was parsed, i.e. include any "virtual" whitespace (such as ending whitespace) and the actual case of the JPQL identifiers
