Class IdentificationVariableDeclaration

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Expression

    public final class IdentificationVariableDeclaration
    extends AbstractExpression
    An identification variable is a valid identifier declared in the FROM clause of a query. All identification variables must be declared in the FROM clause. Identification variables cannot be declared in other clauses. An identification variable must not be a reserved identifier or have the same name as any entity in the same persistence unit: Identification variables are case insensitive. An identification variable evaluates to a value of the type of the expression used in declaring the variable.
    BNF: identification_variable_declaration ::= range_variable_declaration { join | fetch_join }*

    • Constructor Detail

      • IdentificationVariableDeclaration

        public IdentificationVariableDeclaration​(AbstractExpression parent)
        Creates a new IdentificationVariableDeclaration.
        Parameters:
        parent - The parent of this expression
    • Method Detail

      • buildCollectionExpression

        public CollectionExpression buildCollectionExpression()
        Creates a new CollectionExpression that will wrap the single join expression.
        Returns:
        The single join expression represented by a temporary collection
      • getJoins

        public Expression getJoins()
        Returns the unique join (fetch join) or the list of joins (fetch joins) expression.
        Returns:
        The JOIN expression(s) or a null expression if none was declared
      • getRangeVariableDeclaration

        public Expression getRangeVariableDeclaration()
        Returns the variable declaration, which is the abstract schema name and the identification variable.
        Returns:
        The Expression representing the range variable declaration
      • hasJoins

        public boolean hasJoins()
        Determines whether this declaration has any join expressions.
        Returns:
        true if at least one join expression was specified; false otherwise
      • hasRangeVariableDeclaration

        public boolean hasRangeVariableDeclaration()
        Determines whether the range variable declaration was parsed.
        Returns:
        true if the range variable declaration was parsed; false otherwise
      • hasSpace

        public boolean hasSpace()
        Determines whether there is a space after the range variable declaration.
        Returns:
        true if the range variable declaration is followed by a space, 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
      • shouldParseWithFactoryFirst

        protected boolean shouldParseWithFactoryFirst()
        Determines whether the parsing of the query should be performed using the factories first or it should automatically fallback to the fallback factory.
        Overrides:
        shouldParseWithFactoryFirst in class AbstractExpression
        Returns:
        true is returned by default so the factories are used before falling back
      • 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
