Constructor Details

NullComparisonExpression

public NullComparisonExpression(AbstractExpression parent,
 String identifier,
 AbstractExpression expression)

Creates a new NullComparisonExpression.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this expression

expression - The expression before the identifier

Method Details

accept

public void accept(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

Description copied from interface: Expression

Visits this Expression by the given visitor.

Parameters:

visitor - The ExpressionVisitor to visit this object

acceptChildren

public void acceptChildren(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

Description copied from interface: Expression

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(Collection<Expression> children)

Description copied from class: AbstractExpression

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(List<Expression> children)

Description copied from class: AbstractExpression

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

findQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF findQueryBNF(Expression expression)

Description copied from interface: 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

getActualIsIdentifier

public 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 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

getActualNullIdentifier

public String getActualNullIdentifier()

Returns the actual NULL found in the string representation of the JPQL query, which has the actual case that was used.

Returns:

The NULL identifier that was actually parsed

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()

Returns the expression being tested for being null.

Returns:

Either the parsed expression or the null-expression

getIdentifier

public String getIdentifier()

Returns the identifier for this expression that may include NOT if it was parsed.

Returns:

Either IS NULL or IS NOT NULL

getQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF getQueryBNF()

Description copied from interface: Expression

Returns the BNF of this Expression.

Returns:

The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

hasExpression

public boolean hasExpression()

Determines whether the expression preceding the identifier was parsed.

Returns:

true the expression preceding the identifier was parsed; false otherwise

hasNot

public boolean hasNot()

Determines whether NOT is used in the query.

Returns:

true if NOT is present in the query; false otherwise

parse

protected void parse(WordParser wordParser,
 boolean tolerant)

Description copied from class: AbstractExpression

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(StringBuilder writer,
 boolean actual)

Description copied from class: AbstractExpression

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
