Method Detail

accept

public void accept(StateObjectVisitor visitor)
Visits this StateObject by the given visitor.

Parameters:
visitor - The visitor to visit this object

addChildren

protected void addChildren(java.util.List<StateObject> children)
Adds the children of this StateObject to the given list.

Overrides:
addChildren in class AbstractConditionalClauseStateObject
Parameters:
children - The list used to store the children

addProblems

protected void addProblems(java.util.List<Problem> problems)
Adds to the given list the problems that were found with the current state of this StateObject, which means there are validation issues.

Overrides:
addProblems in class AbstractStateObject
Parameters:
problems - The list to which the problems are added

getExpression

public WhenClause getExpression()
Returns the actual parsed object if this StateObject representation of the JPQL query was created by parsing an existing JPQL query.

Specified by:
getExpression in interface StateObject
Overrides:
getExpression in class AbstractStateObject
Returns:
The parsed object when a JPQL query is parsed and converted into a StateObject or null when the JPQL query is manually created (i.e. not from a string)

getIdentifier

public java.lang.String getIdentifier()
Returns the JPQL identifier of this clause.

Specified by:
getIdentifier in class AbstractConditionalClauseStateObject
Returns:
The JPQL identifier of this conditional clause

getParent

public CaseExpressionStateObject getParent()
Returns the parent of this StateObject.

Specified by:
getParent in interface StateObject
Overrides:
getParent in class AbstractStateObject
Returns:
Returns the parent of this StateObject, which is null only when this is the root of the hierarchy

getThen

public StateObject getThen()
Returns the StateObject representing the scalar expression that is following the THEN identifier.

Returns:
Either the StateObject representing the THEN expression or null if it's not defined

hasThen

public boolean hasThen()
Determines whether the StateObject representing the scalar expression is present.

Returns:
true the scalar expression exists; otherwise false

isEquivalent

public boolean isEquivalent(StateObject stateObject)
Determines whether the given StateObject is equivalent to this one, i.e. the information of both StateObject is the same.

Specified by:
isEquivalent in interface StateObject
Overrides:
isEquivalent in class AbstractConditionalClauseStateObject
Parameters:
stateObject - The StateObject to compare its content to this one
Returns:
true if both object are equivalent; false otherwise

parseThen

public void parseThen(java.lang.String jpqlFragment)
Parses the given JPQL fragment, which will represent the THEN expression. The JPQL fragment should not start with the identifier.

Parameters:
jpqlFragment - The string representation of the THEN expression to parse and to convert into a StateObject

parseWhen

public void parseWhen(java.lang.String jpqlFragment)
Parses the given JPQL fragment, which will represent the WHEN clause. The JPQL fragment should not start with the identifier.

Parameters:
jpqlFragment - The string representation of the WHEN clause to parse and to convert into a StateObject

setExpression

public void setExpression(WhenClause 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.

Parameters:
expression - The parsed object representing a WHEN clause

setThen

public void setThen(StateObject thenStateObject)
Sets the scalar expression to be the given StateObject.

Parameters:
thenStateObject - The StateObject representing the scalar expression

toTextInternal

public void toTextInternal(java.lang.Appendable writer)
                    throws java.io.IOException
Prints out a string representation of this StateObject, which should not be used to define a true string representation of a JPQL query but should be used for debugging purposes.

Overrides:
toTextInternal in class AbstractConditionalClauseStateObject
Parameters:
writer - The writer used to print out the string representation
Throws:
java.io.IOException - This should never happens, it is only required because Appendable is used instead of any concrete class
