Constructor Detail

UpdateItem

public UpdateItem(AbstractExpression parent)
Creates a new UpdateItem.

Parameters:
parent - The parent of this expression
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.

addChildrenTo

protected 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 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

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

getNewValue

public Expression getNewValue()
Returns the Expression representing the new value, which is the new value of the property.

Returns:
The expression for the new value

getQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF getQueryBNF()
Returns the BNF of this Expression.

Returns:
The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

getStateFieldPathExpression

public Expression getStateFieldPathExpression()
Returns the Expression representing the state field path expression, which is the property that should get updated.

Returns:
The expression for the state field path expression

hasEqualSign

public boolean hasEqualSign()
Determines whether the equal sign was parsed or not.

Returns:
true if the equal sign was parsed; false otherwise

hasNewValue

public boolean hasNewValue()
Determines whether the new value section of the query was parsed.

Returns:
true the new value was parsed; false if nothing was parsed

hasSpaceAfterEqualSign

public boolean hasSpaceAfterEqualSign()
Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after the equal sign or not.

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

hasSpaceAfterStateFieldPathExpression

public boolean hasSpaceAfterStateFieldPathExpression()
Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after the state field path expression not.

Returns:
true if there was a whitespace after the state field path expression; false otherwise

hasStateFieldPathExpression

public boolean hasStateFieldPathExpression()
Determines whether the state field was parsed.

Returns:
true the state field was parsed; 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 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

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
