Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
CLASS_NAME Indicates the "root" object maps a fully qualified class name.
COLLECTION Indicates the "root" object maps a collection-valued path expression.
DERIVED Indicates the "root" object is a derived path expression where the identification variable is declared in the super query, otherwise it's an entity name.
RANGE Indicates the "root" object maps to an entity.
SUBQUERY Indicates the "root" object maps to a subquery.
TABLE Indicates the "root" object maps directly to a database table.
UNKNOWN Indicates the "root" object maps to an unknown expression.

Enum Constant Detail

CLASS_NAME

public static final JPQLQueryDeclaration.Type CLASS_NAME

Indicates the "root" object maps a fully qualified class name.

COLLECTION

public static final JPQLQueryDeclaration.Type COLLECTION

Indicates the "root" object maps a collection-valued path expression.

DERIVED

public static final JPQLQueryDeclaration.Type DERIVED

Indicates the "root" object is a derived path expression where the identification variable is declared in the super query, otherwise it's an entity name.

RANGE

public static final JPQLQueryDeclaration.Type RANGE

Indicates the "root" object maps to an entity.

SUBQUERY

public static final JPQLQueryDeclaration.Type SUBQUERY

Indicates the "root" object maps to a subquery.

TABLE

public static final JPQLQueryDeclaration.Type TABLE

Indicates the "root" object maps directly to a database table.

UNKNOWN

public static final JPQLQueryDeclaration.Type UNKNOWN

Indicates the "root" object maps to an unknown expression.

Method Detail

values

public static JPQLQueryDeclaration.Type[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (JPQLQueryDeclaration.Type c : JPQLQueryDeclaration.Type.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static JPQLQueryDeclaration.Type valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

isRange

public boolean isRange()

Determines whether this type represents a range variable declaration.

Returns:

true if this constant represents a range variable declaration; false otherwise
