public abstract class AbstractConditionalClause
extends AbstractExpression

Conditional expressions are composed of other conditional expressions, comparison operations, logical operations, path expressions that evaluate to boolean values, boolean literals, and boolean input parameters. Arithmetic expressions can be used in comparison expressions. Arithmetic expressions are composed of other arithmetic expressions, arithmetic operations, path expressions that evaluate to numeric values, numeric literals, and numeric input parameters. Arithmetic operations use numeric promotion. Standard bracketing () for ordering expression evaluation is supported.

BNF: expression ::= identifier conditional_expression

Constructor Detail

AbstractConditionalClause

protected AbstractConditionalClause(AbstractExpression parent,
                                    java.lang.String identifier)
Creates a new AbstractConditionalClause.

Parameters:
parent - The parent of this expression
identifier - The identifier of this conditional clause
Method Detail

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.

addChildrenTo

protected final void addChildrenTo(java.util.Collection<Expression> children)
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 final 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

buildCollectionExpression

public CollectionExpression buildCollectionExpression()
Creates a new CollectionExpression that will wrap the single select item.

Returns:
The single select item represented by a temporary collection

findQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF findQueryBNF(Expression 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

getActualIdentifier

public final 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

getConditionalExpression

public final Expression getConditionalExpression()
Returns the expression representing the composition of the conditional expressions.

Returns:
The actual conditional expression

getIdentifier

public final java.lang.String getIdentifier()
Returns the JPQL identifier of this expression.

Returns:
The JPQL identifier

hasConditionalExpression

public final boolean hasConditionalExpression()
Determines whether the conditional expression was parsed.

Returns:
true if there is a conditional expression; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterIdentifier

public final boolean hasSpaceAfterIdentifier()
Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after the identifier or not.

Returns:
true if there was a whitespace after the identifier; false otherwise

isParsingComplete

protected boolean isParsingComplete(WordParser wordParser,
                                    java.lang.String word,
                                    Expression expression)
Determines whether the parsing is complete based on what is left in the given text. The text is never empty.

Overrides:
isParsingComplete in class AbstractExpression
Parameters:
wordParser - The text to parse based on the current position of the cursor
word - The word that was retrieved from the given text, which is the first word in the text
expression - The Expression that has already been parsed
Returns:
true if the text no longer can't be parsed by the current expression; false if more can be parsed

parse

protected final 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

shouldSkipLiteral

protected boolean shouldSkipLiteral(AbstractExpression expression)
When parsing an invalid or incomplete query, it is possible two literals would be parsed but in some cases, a CollectionExpression should not be created and the parsing should actually stop here. Example: BETWEEN 10 20, when parsing 20, it should not be parsed as part of the lower bound expression.

Overrides:
shouldSkipLiteral in class AbstractExpression
Parameters:
expression - The Expression that has just been parsed or null
Returns:
true

toParsedText

protected final 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
