Class StringLiteral

org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.parser.AbstractExpression

org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.parser.StringLiteral

All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class StringLiteral
extends AbstractExpression

A string literal is enclosed in single quotes. For example: 'literal'. A string literal that includes a single quote is represented by two single quotes. For example: 'literal''s'. String literals in queries, like Java String literals, use unicode character encoding. Approximate literals support the use Java floating point literal syntax as well as SQL approximate numeric literal syntax. Enum literals support the use of Java enum literal syntax. The enum class name must be specified. Appropriate suffixes may be used to indicate the specific type of a numeric literal in accordance with the Java Language Specification. The boolean literals are TRUE and FALSE. Although predefined reserved literals appear in upper case, they are case insensitive.

Constructor Detail

StringLiteral

public StringLiteral(AbstractExpression parent,
                     java.lang.String literal)

Creates a new StringLiteral.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this expression

literal - The string literal

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.

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

getQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF getQueryBNF()

Returns the BNF of this Expression.

Returns:

The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

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

getUnquotedText

public java.lang.String getUnquotedText()

Returns the string literal without the single quotes.

Returns:

The unquoted text

hasCloseQuote

public boolean hasCloseQuote()

Determines whether the closing quote was present or not.

Returns:

true if the literal is ended by a single quote; 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

toActualText

public java.lang.String toActualText()

Generates a string representation of this Expression, which needs to include any characters that are considered virtual, i.e. that was parsed when the query is incomplete and is needed for functionality like content assist.

Specified by:

toActualText in interface Expression

Overrides:

toActualText in class AbstractExpression

Returns:

The string representation of this Expression

toParsedText

public java.lang.String toParsedText()

Returns a string representation of this Expression and its children. The expression should contain whitespace even if the beautified version would not have any. For instance, "SELECT e " should be returned where Expression.toParsedText() would return "SELECT e".

Specified by:

toParsedText in interface Expression

Overrides:

toParsedText in class AbstractExpression

Returns:

The string representation of this Expression

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
