All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class ExistsExpression
extends AbstractSingleEncapsulatedExpression

An EXISTS expression is a predicate that is true only if the result of the subquery consists of one or more values and that is false otherwise.

BNF: exists_expression ::= [NOT] EXISTS(subquery)

Constructor Detail

ExistsExpression

public ExistsExpression(AbstractExpression parent)

Creates a new ExistsExpression.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this expression

Method Detail

accept

public void accept(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

Visits this Expression by the given visitor.

Parameters:

visitor - The ExpressionVisitor to visit this object

encapsulatedExpressionBNF

public java.lang.String encapsulatedExpressionBNF()

Returns the BNF used to parse the encapsulated expression.

Specified by:

encapsulatedExpressionBNF in class AbstractSingleEncapsulatedExpression

Returns:

The BNF used to parse the encapsulated expression

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

getQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF getQueryBNF()

Returns the BNF of this Expression.

Returns:

The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

hasNot

public boolean hasNot()

Determines whether the identifier NOT was parsed.

Returns:

true if the identifier NOT was parsed; false otherwise

parse

protected AbstractExpression parse(WordParser wordParser,
                                   java.lang.String queryBNFId,
                                   boolean tolerant)

Parses the given text by using the specified BNF.

Overrides:

parse in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

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

queryBNFId - The unique identifier of the JPQLQueryBNF that is used to determine how to parse the text at the current cursor position within the JPQL query

tolerant - Determines whether the parsing system should be tolerant, meaning if it should try to parse invalid or incomplete queries

Returns:

The Expression representing the given sub-query

parseIdentifier

protected java.lang.String parseIdentifier(WordParser wordParser)

Parses the identifier of this expression.

Specified by:

parseIdentifier in class AbstractEncapsulatedExpression

Returns:

The identifier for this expression
