Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Constructor Detail

JPQLGrammar2_1

public JPQLGrammar2_1()
Creates a new JPQLExtension2_1.

Method Detail

extend

public static void extend(AbstractJPQLGrammar jpqlGrammar)
Extends the given JPQLGrammar with the information of this one without instantiating the base JPQLGrammar.

Parameters:
jpqlGrammar - The JPQLGrammar to extend with the content of this one without instantiating the base JPQLGrammar

instance

public static JPQLGrammar instance()
Returns the singleton instance of the default implementation of JPQLGrammar which provides support for the JPQL grammar defined in the JPA 2.1 functional specification.

Returns:
The JPQLGrammar that only has support for JPA 2.1

buildBaseGrammar

protected JPQLGrammar buildBaseGrammar()
Creates the base JPQLGrammar this one extends, if one exists.

IMPORTANT: The singleton instance of any JPQLGrammar (for example JPQLGrammar1_0.instance() cannot be used, the API does not support extending it, a new instance has to be created.

Specified by:
buildBaseGrammar in class AbstractJPQLGrammar
Returns:
The base JPQLGrammar or null if there is no base grammar

getJPAVersion

public JPAVersion getJPAVersion()
Returns the JPAVersion of the Java Persistence supported by this grammar.

Returns:
The JPA version supported by this grammar

getProviderVersion

public java.lang.String getProviderVersion()
Returns the version of the persistence provider.

Returns:
The version of the persistence provider, if one is extending the default JPQL grammar defined in the Java Persistence specification, otherwise returns an empty string

initializeBNFs

protected void initializeBNFs()
Registers the JPQL query BNFs defining the JPQL grammar.

Specified by:
initializeBNFs in class AbstractJPQLGrammar

initializeExpressionFactories

protected void initializeExpressionFactories()
Registers the ExpressionFactories required to properly parse JPQL queries. An ExpressionFactory is responsible to create an Expression object that represents a portion of the JPQL query.

Specified by:
initializeExpressionFactories in class AbstractJPQLGrammar

initializeIdentifiers

protected void initializeIdentifiers()
Registers the JPQL identifiers support by this IJPQLExtension. The registration involves registering the JPAVersion and the IdentifierRole.

Specified by:
initializeIdentifiers in class AbstractJPQLGrammar

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:
toString in class java.lang.Object
