Class OrderByItemStateObject

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.model.query.AbstractStateObject
      org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.model.query.OrderByItemStateObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

StateObject

public class OrderByItemStateObject
extends AbstractStateObject

An ORDER BY item must be one of the following:

1. A state_field_path_expression that evaluates to an orderable state field of an entity or embeddable class abstract schema type designated in the SELECT clause by one of the following:
   • A general_identification_variable
   • A single_valued_object_path_expression
2. A state_field_path_expression that evaluates to the same state field of the same entity or embeddable abstract schema type as a state_field_path_expression in the SELECT clause
3. A result_variable that refers to an orderable item in the SELECT clause for which the same result_variable has been specified. This may be the result of an aggregate_expression, a scalar_expression, or a state_field_path_expression in the SELECT clause.

The keyword ASC specifies that ascending ordering be used for the associated ORDER BY item; the keyword DESC specifies that descending ordering be used. Ascending ordering is the default.

JPA 1.0:

BNF: orderby_item ::= state_field_path_expression [ ASC | DESC ]

BNF: orderby_item ::= state_field_path_expression | result_variable [ ASC | DESC ]

Method Detail
