```
protected AbstractCaseExpressionStateObjectBuilder(StateObject parent)
```
    Creates a new AbstractCaseExpressionStateObjectBuilder.
    
    Parameters:
    
    parent - The parent of the CASE expression to build, which is only required when a JPQL fragment needs to be parsed

```
public CaseExpressionStateObject buildStateObject()
```
    Creates the actual state object based on the information this builder gathered.
    
    Specified by:
    
    buildStateObject in interface ICaseExpressionStateObjectBuilder
    
    Returns:
    
    The newly created CaseExpressionStateObject
