All Implemented Interfaces:

StateObject

public class WhereClauseStateObject
extends AbstractConditionalClauseStateObject

The WHERE clause of a query consists of a conditional expression used to select objects or values that satisfy the expression. The WHERE clause restricts the result of a select statement or the scope of an update or delete operation.

Constructor Detail

WhereClauseStateObject

public WhereClauseStateObject(AbstractModifyStatementStateObject parent)

Creates a new WhereClauseStateObject.

Parameters:

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

Throws:

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

WhereClauseStateObject

public WhereClauseStateObject(AbstractSelectStatementStateObject parent)

Creates a new WhereClauseStateObject.

Parameters:

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

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 WhereClause 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 AbstractStateObject

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 JPQL identifier of this clause.

Specified by:

getIdentifier in class AbstractConditionalClauseStateObject

Returns:

The JPQL identifier of this conditional clause

setExpression

public void setExpression(WhereClause 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 Where clause
