Method Detail

fromExpression

<T> Expression<T> fromExpression(Expression expression,
                                 java.lang.Class<T> type)

ADVANCED: Allow a Criteria Expression to be built from a EclipseLink native API Expression object. This allows for an extended functionality supported in EclipseLink Expressions to be used in Criteria.

fromExpression

Expression fromExpression(Expression expression)

ADVANCED: Allow a Criteria Expression to be built from a EclipseLink native API Expression object. This allows for an extended functionality supported in EclipseLink Expressions to be used in Criteria.

toExpression

Expression toExpression(Expression expression)

ADVANCED: Allow a Criteria Expression to be converted to a EclipseLink native API Expression object. This allows for roots and paths defined in the Criteria to be used with EclipseLink native API Expresions.
