public final class CollectionValuedPathExpression
extends AbstractPathExpression

A collection_valued_field is designated by the name of an association field in a one-to-many or a many-to-many relationship or by the name of an element collection field. The type of a collection_valued_field is a collection of values of the abstract schema type of the related entity or element type.

Constructor Detail

CollectionValuedPathExpression

public CollectionValuedPathExpression(AbstractExpression parent,
                                      AbstractExpression expression)

Creates a new CollectionValuedPathExpression.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this expression

expression - The identification variable that was already parsed, which means the beginning of the parsing should start with a dot

CollectionValuedPathExpression

public CollectionValuedPathExpression(AbstractExpression parent,
                                      AbstractExpression expression,
                                      java.lang.String paths)

Creates a new CollectionValuedPathExpression.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this expression

expression - The identification variable that was already parsed, which means the beginning of the parsing should start with a dot

paths - The path expression that is following the identification variable

CollectionValuedPathExpression

public CollectionValuedPathExpression(AbstractExpression parent,
                                      java.lang.String paths)

Creates a new CollectionValuedPathExpression.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this expression

paths - The path expression
