    • Method Detail

      • 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
      • 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
