      • getActualIdentifier

        public java.lang.String getActualIdentifier()
        Returns the actual identifier found in the string representation of the JPQL query, which has the actual case that was used.
        Returns:
        The identifier that was actually parsed
      • getText

        public java.lang.String getText()
        Returns the encapsulated text of this AbstractExpression, which can be used in various ways, it can be a keyword, a literal, etc.
        Overrides:
        getText in class AbstractExpression
        Returns:
        Either the JPQL identifier for this AbstractExpression, the literal it encapsulates or an empty string
      • 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
