Constructor Detail

EmptyCollectionComparisonExpression

public EmptyCollectionComparisonExpression(AbstractExpression parent,
                                           AbstractExpression expression)
Creates a new NullComparisonExpression.

Parameters:
parent - The parent of this expression
expression - The Expression that represents the collection-valued path expression
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

getActualEmptyIdentifier

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

Returns:
The EMPTY identifier that was actually parsed

getActualIsIdentifier

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

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

getActualNotIdentifier

public java.lang.String getActualNotIdentifier()
Returns the actual NOT 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 that represents the collection-valued path expression if it was parsed.

Returns:
The expression that was parsed representing the collection valued path expression

getIdentifier

public java.lang.String getIdentifier()
Returns the identifier for this expression that may include NOT if it was parsed. The identifier IS should always be part of the identifier but it is possible it is not present when this expression is invalid.

Returns:
Either IS NOT EMPTY, NOT EMPTY, IS EMPTY or EMPTY

getQueryBNF

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

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

hasExpression

public boolean hasExpression()
Determines whether the expression was parsed.

Returns:
true if the expression was parsed; 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

hasSpaceAfterIs

public boolean hasSpaceAfterIs()
Determines whether a whitespace was found after IS.

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

parse

protected void parse(WordParser wordParser,
                     boolean tolerant)
Parses the query by starting at the current position, which is part of the given WordParser.

Specified by:
parse in class AbstractExpression
Parameters:
wordParser - The text to parse based on the current position of the cursor
tolerant - Determines whether the parsing system should be tolerant, meaning if it should try to parse invalid or incomplete queries

toParsedText

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

Specified by:
toParsedText in class AbstractExpression
Parameters:
writer - The buffer used to append this Expression's string representation
actual - Determines whether the string representation should represent what was parsed, i.e. include any "virtual" whitespace (such as ending whitespace) and the actual case of the JPQL identifiers
