All Implemented Interfaces:

StateObject

public class OrExpressionStateObject
extends LogicalExpressionStateObject

The OR logical operator chains multiple criteria together. A valid operand of an OR operator must be one of: TRUE, FALSE, and NULL. The OR operator has a lower precedence than the AND operator.

NULL represents unknown. Therefore, if one operand is NULL and the other operand is TRUE the result is TRUE, because one TRUE operand is sufficient for a TRUE result. If one operand is NULL and the other operand is either FALSE or NULL, the result is NULL (unknown).

The following table shows how the OR operator is evaluated based on its two operands:

	TRUE	FALSE	NULL
TRUE	TRUE	TRUE	TRUE
FALSE	TRUE	FALSE	NULL
NULL	TRUE	NULL	NULL

BNF: conditional_expression ::= conditional_expression OR conditional_term

Method Summary

void	accept(StateObjectVisitor visitor) Visits this StateObject by the given visitor.
OrExpression	getExpression() Returns the actual parsed object if this StateObject representation of the JPQL query was created by parsing an existing JPQL query.
java.lang.String	getIdentifier() Returns the identifier joining the two StateObjects.
protected java.lang.String	getLeftQueryBNFId() Returns the unique identifier of the BNF that will be used to parse a JPQL fragment as the left side of the expression.

Constructor Detail

OrExpressionStateObject

public OrExpressionStateObject(StateObject parent)

Creates a new OrExpressionStateObject.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this state object, which cannot be null

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - The given parent cannot be null

OrExpressionStateObject

public OrExpressionStateObject(StateObject parent,
                               StateObject leftStateObject,
                               StateObject rightStateObject)

Creates a new OrExpressionStateObject.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this state object, which cannot be null

leftStateObject - The StateObject representing the left expression

rightStateObject - The StateObject representing the right expression

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - The given parent cannot be null

OrExpressionStateObject

public OrExpressionStateObject(StateObject parent,
                               java.lang.String leftJpqlFragment,
                               java.lang.String rightJpqlFragment)

Creates a new OrExpressionStateObject.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this state object, which cannot be null

leftJpqlFragment - The string representation of the left expression to parse and to convert into a StateObject

rightJpqlFragment - The string representation of the right expression to parse and to convert into a StateObject

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

getExpression

public OrExpression 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 LogicalExpressionStateObject

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)

getIdentifier

public java.lang.String getIdentifier()

Returns the identifier joining the two StateObjects.

Specified by:

getIdentifier in class CompoundExpressionStateObject

Returns:

The JPQL identifier join two expressions

getLeftQueryBNFId

protected java.lang.String getLeftQueryBNFId()

Returns the unique identifier of the BNF that will be used to parse a JPQL fragment as the left side of the expression.

Specified by:

getLeftQueryBNFId in class CompoundExpressionStateObject

Returns:

The query BNF ID for the left side of the expression

getRightQueryBNFId

protected java.lang.String getRightQueryBNFId()

Returns the unique identifier of the BNF that will be used to parse a JPQL fragment as the right side of the expression.

Specified by:

getRightQueryBNFId in class CompoundExpressionStateObject

Returns:

The query BNF ID for the right side of the expression

setExpression

public void setExpression(OrExpression 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 logical OR expression
