Constructor Detail

BetweenExpression

public BetweenExpression(AbstractExpression parent,
                         AbstractExpression expression)
Creates a new BetweenExpression.

Parameters:
parent - The parent of this expression
expression - The Expression that is tested to be inclusive in a range of values
Method Detail

accept

public void accept(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
Visits this Expression by the given visitor.

Parameters:
visitor - The ExpressionVisitor to visit this object

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

findQueryBNF

public 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

getActualAndIdentifier

public java.lang.String getActualAndIdentifier()
Returns the actual AND identifier found in the string representation of the JPQL query, which has the actual case that was used.

Returns:
The AND identifier that was actually parsed, or an empty string if it was not parsed

getActualBetweenIdentifier

public java.lang.String getActualBetweenIdentifier()
Returns the actual identifier found in the string representation of the JPQL query, which has the actual case that was used.

Returns:
The identifier that was actually parsed

getActualNotIdentifier

public java.lang.String getActualNotIdentifier()
Returns the actual NOT identifier found in the string representation of the JPQL query, which has the actual case that was used.

Returns:
The NOT identifier that was actually parsed, or an empty string if it was not parsed

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()
Returns the Expression representing the expression to be tested for a range of values.

Returns:
The expression that was parsed representing the expression to be tested

getIdentifier

public java.lang.String getIdentifier()
Returns the identifier for this expression that may include NOT if it was parsed.

Returns:
Either BETWEEN or NOT BETWEEN

getLowerBoundExpression

public Expression getLowerBoundExpression()
Returns the Expression representing the lower bound expression.

Returns:
The expression that was parsed representing the lower bound expression

getQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF getQueryBNF()
Returns the BNF of this Expression.

Returns:
The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

getUpperBoundExpression

public Expression getUpperBoundExpression()
Returns the Expression representing the upper bound expression.

Returns:
The expression that was parsed representing the upper bound expression

hasAnd

Determines whether the identifier AND was part of the query.

Returns:

Determines whether the lower bound expression was parsed.

Returns:
true if the query has the lower bound expression; false otherwise

hasNot

public boolean hasNot()
Determines whether the identifier NOT was part of the query.

Returns:
true if the identifier NOT was parsed; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterAnd

public boolean hasSpaceAfterAnd()
Determines whether a whitespace was found after AND.

Returns:
true if there was a whitespace after AND; false otherwise

word - The word that was retrieved from the given text, which is the first word in the text
expression - The Expression that has already been parsed
Returns:
true if the text no longer can't be parsed by the current expression; false if more can be parsed

parse

Specified by:

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

protected void toParsedText(java.lang.StringBuilder writer,
                            boolean actual)
Generates a string representation of this Expression, including its children, if it has any.
