Method Detail

declarations

ListIterable<? extends VariableDeclarationStateObject> declarations()

Returns the list of declarations declared in the declaration clause of the current query.

Returns:

The list of VariableDeclarationStateObject that define the domain of the query

findManagedType

IManagedType findManagedType(StateObject stateObject)

Returns the IManagedType for the given identification variable. If the declaration is for a subquery and there is no managed type associated with the identification then the search will traverse up the query hierarchy.

SELECT e FROM Department d JOIN KEY(d.employees).addresses a

In the above query, the managed type associated with the identification variable:

• d is "Department"
• a is "Address"

Parameters:

stateObject - The StateObject that should be an simple identification variable or an encapsulated identification variable with the identifier KEY or VALUE

Returns:

The IManagedType representing the domain object declared by the given identification variable

See Also:

getManagedType(StateObject)

getManagedType

IManagedType getManagedType(StateObject stateObject)

Returns the IManagedType for the given identification variable. The search does not traverse up the query hierarchy if this declaration is for a subquery.

SELECT e FROM Department d JOIN KEY(d.employees).addresses a

In the above query, the managed type associated with the identification variable:

• d is "Department"
• a is "Address"

Parameters:

stateObject - The StateObject that should be an simple identification variable or an encapsulated identification variable with the identifier KEY or VALUE

Returns:

The IManagedType representing the domain object declared by the given identification variable
