Constructor Detail

TreatExpressionStateObject

public TreatExpressionStateObject(JoinStateObject parent)

Creates a new TreatExpressionStateObject.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this state object, which is temporary since this state object will be parented with the state object representing the join's association path expression

TreatExpressionStateObject

public TreatExpressionStateObject(JoinStateObject parent,
                                  boolean as,
                                  java.lang.String entityTypeName)

Creates a new TreatExpressionStateObject.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this state object, which is temporary since this state object will be parented with the state object representing the join's association path expression

as - Determines whether the AS identifier is used or not

entityTypeName - The entity type name used to cast the base expression

TreatExpressionStateObject

public TreatExpressionStateObject(JoinStateObject parent,
                                  java.lang.String entityTypeName)

Creates a new TreatExpressionStateObject.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this state object, which is temporary since this state object will be parented with the state object representing the join's association path expression

entityTypeName - The entity type name used to cast the base expression

Method Detail

accept

public void accept(StateObjectVisitor visitor)

Visits this StateObject by the given visitor.

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor to visit this object

addAs

public TreatExpressionStateObject addAs()

Makes sure the AS identifier is specified.

Returns:

This object

addChildren

protected void addChildren(java.util.List<StateObject> children)

Overrides:

addChildren in class AbstractStateObject

Parameters:

children - The list used to store the children

appendToEntityTypeName

public void appendToEntityTypeName(java.lang.String text)

Appends the given text to the existing entity type name property.

Parameters:

text - The text to append to the entity type name property or nothing is done if the given value is null

setEntityTypeName

public void setEntityTypeName(java.lang.String entityTypeName)

Sets the name of the entity that is used to downcast the join association path.

Parameters:

setExpression

public void setExpression(TreatExpression expression)

Keeps a reference of the parsed object object, which should only be done when this object is instantiated during the conversion of a parsed JPQL query into StateObjects.
