public class GroupByClauseStateObject
extends AbstractListHolderStateObject<StateObject>

The GROUP BY construct enables the aggregation of values according to the properties of an entity class.

BNF: groupby_clause ::= GROUP BY groupby_item {, groupby_item}*

Field Summary
static java.lang.String GROUP_BY_ITEMS_LIST
          Notify the list of StateObjects representing the GROUP BY items.
 
Constructor Summary
GroupByClauseStateObject(AbstractSelectStatementStateObject parent)
          Creates a new GroupByClauseStateObject.
 
Method Summary
 void accept(StateObjectVisitor visitor)
          Visits this StateObject by the given visitor.
 StateObject addGroupByItem(java.lang.String path)
          Adds the given path as a select item, which can either be an identification variable or a state-field path expression.
 GroupByClause getExpression()
          Returns the actual parsed object if this StateObject representation of the JPQL query was created by parsing an existing JPQL query.
 AbstractSelectStatementStateObject getParent()
          Returns the parent of this StateObject.
 boolean isEquivalent(StateObject stateObject)
          Determines whether the given StateObject is equivalent to this one, i.e. the information of both StateObject is the same.
protected  java.lang.String listName()
          Returns the name that is uniquely identifying the list.
 void parse(java.lang.String jpqlFragment)
          Parses the given JPQL fragment, which will represent the group by items.
 void setExpression(GroupByClause expression)
          Keeps a reference of the parsed object object, which should only be done when this object is instantiated during the conversion of a parsed JPQL query into StateObjects.
protected  void toTextInternal(java.lang.Appendable writer)
          Prints out a string representation of this StateObject, which should not be used to define a true string representation of a JPQL query but should be used for debugging purposes.

Field Detail

GROUP_BY_ITEMS_LIST

public static final java.lang.String GROUP_BY_ITEMS_LIST
Notify the list of StateObjects representing the GROUP BY items.

See Also:
Constant Field Values
Constructor Detail

GroupByClauseStateObject

public GroupByClauseStateObject(AbstractSelectStatementStateObject parent)
Creates a new GroupByClauseStateObject.

Parameters:
parent - The parent of this state object, which cannot be null
Throws:
java.lang.NullPointerException - The given parent cannot be null
Method Detail

accept

public void accept(StateObjectVisitor visitor)
Visits this StateObject by the given visitor.

Parameters:
visitor - The visitor to visit this object

addGroupByItem

public StateObject addGroupByItem(java.lang.String path)
Adds the given path as a select item, which can either be an identification variable or a state-field path expression.

Parameters:
path - Either an identification variable or a state-field path expression
Returns:
The StateObject encapsulating the given path

getExpression

public GroupByClause getExpression()
Returns the actual parsed object if this StateObject representation of the JPQL query was created by parsing an existing JPQL query.

Specified by:
getExpression in interface StateObject
Overrides:
getExpression in class AbstractStateObject
Returns:
The parsed object when a JPQL query is parsed and converted into a StateObject or null when the JPQL query is manually created (i.e. not from a string)

getParent

public AbstractSelectStatementStateObject getParent()
Returns the parent of this StateObject.

Specified by:
getParent in interface StateObject
Overrides:
getParent in class AbstractStateObject
Returns:
Returns the parent of this StateObject, which is null only when this is the root of the hierarchy

isEquivalent

public boolean isEquivalent(StateObject stateObject)
Determines whether the given StateObject is equivalent to this one, i.e. the information of both StateObject is the same.

Specified by:
isEquivalent in interface StateObject
Overrides:
isEquivalent in class AbstractStateObject
Parameters:
stateObject - The StateObject to compare its content to this one
Returns:
true if both object are equivalent; false otherwise

listName

protected java.lang.String listName()
Returns the name that is uniquely identifying the list.

Specified by:
listName in class AbstractListHolderStateObject<StateObject>
Returns:
The unique name identifying the list

parse

public void parse(java.lang.String jpqlFragment)
Parses the given JPQL fragment, which will represent the group by items. The fragment cannot start with the GROUP BY.

Parameters:
jpqlFragment - The string representation of the group by items

setExpression

public void setExpression(GroupByClause expression)
Keeps a reference of the parsed object object, which should only be done when this object is instantiated during the conversion of a parsed JPQL query into StateObjects.

Parameters:
expression - The parsed object representing a GROUP BY clause

toTextInternal

protected void toTextInternal(java.lang.Appendable writer)
                       throws java.io.IOException
Prints out a string representation of this StateObject, which should not be used to define a true string representation of a JPQL query but should be used for debugging purposes.

Specified by:
toTextInternal in class AbstractStateObject
Parameters:
writer - The writer used to print out the string representation
Throws:
java.io.IOException - This should never happens, it is only required because Appendable is used instead of any concrete class
