All Implemented Interfaces:
Expression

public final class UpdateClause
extends AbstractExpression

This is the update clause of the update statement.

An UPDATE statement provides bulk operations over sets of entities of a single entity class (together with its subclasses, if any). Only one entity abstract schema type may be specified in the UPDATE clause.

BNF: update_clause ::= UPDATE abstract_schema_name [[AS] identification_variable] SET update_item {, update_item}*

Constructor Detail

UpdateClause

public UpdateClause(AbstractExpression parent)
Creates a new UpdateClause.

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

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

buildCollectionExpression

public CollectionExpression buildCollectionExpression()
Creates a new CollectionExpression that will wrap the single update item.

Returns:
The single update item represented by a temporary collection

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

getActualSetIdentifier

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

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

getActualUpdateIdentifier

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

Returns:
The UPDATE identifier that was actually parsed

getQueryBNF

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

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

getRangeVariableDeclaration

public Expression getRangeVariableDeclaration()
Returns the Expression representing the range variable declaration.

Returns:
The expression that was parsed representing the range variable declaration

getUpdateItems

public Expression getUpdateItems()
Returns the Expression representing the single update item or the collection of update items.

Returns:
The expression that was parsed representing the single or multiple update items

hasRangeVariableDeclaration

public boolean hasRangeVariableDeclaration()
Determines whether the range variable declaration was parsed.

Returns:
true if the range variable declaration was parsed; false otherwise

hasSet

public boolean hasSet()
Determines whether SET was parsed or not.

Returns:
true if SET was part of the query; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterRangeVariableDeclaration

public boolean hasSpaceAfterRangeVariableDeclaration()
Determines whether a whitespace was found after the abstract schema name declaration.

Returns:
true if there was a whitespace after the abstract schema name declaration; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterSet

public boolean hasSpaceAfterSet()
Determines whether a whitespace was found after SET.

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

hasSpaceAfterUpdate

public boolean hasSpaceAfterUpdate()
Determines whether a whitespace was found after the identifier UPDATE.

Returns:
true if there was a whitespace after the identifier UPDATE; false otherwise

hasUpdateItems

public boolean hasUpdateItems()
Determines whether the update items section of the query was parsed.

Returns:
true if something was parsed after SET even if it was a malformed expression; false if nothing was parsed

isParsingComplete

protected boolean isParsingComplete(WordParser wordParser,
                                    java.lang.String word,
                                    Expression expression)
Determines whether the parsing is complete based on what is left in the given text. The text is never empty.

Overrides:
isParsingComplete in class AbstractExpression
Parameters:
wordParser - The text to parse based on the current position of the cursor
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

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
