Constructor Detail

LiteralExpression

public LiteralExpression()

LiteralExpression

public LiteralExpression(String newValue,
                         Expression baseExpression)

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

INTERNAL: Return if the expression is equal to the other. This is used to allow dynamic expression's SQL to be cached.

Overrides:

equals in class Expression

computeHashCode

public int computeHashCode()

INTERNAL: Compute a consistent hash-code for the expression. This is used to allow dynamic expression's SQL to be cached.

Overrides:

computeHashCode in class Expression

descriptionOfNodeType

public String descriptionOfNodeType()

INTERNAL: Used for debug printing.

Overrides:

descriptionOfNodeType in class Expression

getBuilder

public ExpressionBuilder getBuilder()

Return the expression builder which is the ultimate base of this expression, or null if there isn't one (shouldn't happen if we start from a root)

Specified by:

getBuilder in class Expression

getLocalBase

protected Expression getLocalBase()

getValue

public String getValue()

isLiteralExpression

public boolean isLiteralExpression()

Description copied from class: Expression

INTERNAL:

Overrides:

isLiteralExpression in class Expression

postCopyIn

protected void postCopyIn(Map alreadyDone)

INTERNAL: Used for cloning.

Overrides:

postCopyIn in class Expression

printSQL

public void printSQL(ExpressionSQLPrinter printer)

INTERNAL: Print SQL onto the stream, using the ExpressionPrinter for context

Specified by:

printSQL in class Expression

rebuildOn

public Expression rebuildOn(Expression newBase)

INTERNAL: This expression is built on a different base than the one we want. Rebuild it and return the root of the new tree

Specified by:

rebuildOn in class Expression

See Also:

Expression.cloneUsing(Expression newBase)

resetPlaceHolderBuilder

public void resetPlaceHolderBuilder(ExpressionBuilder queryBuilder)

INTERNAL: Search the tree for any expressions (like SubSelectExpressions) that have been built using a builder that is not attached to the query. This happens in case of an Exists call using a new ExpressionBuilder(). This builder needs to be replaced with one from the query.

Specified by:

resetPlaceHolderBuilder in class Expression

setLocalBase

public void setLocalBase(Expression e)

Description copied from class: Expression

INTERNAL: Set the local base expression, ie the one on the other side of the operator Most types will ignore this, since they don't need it.

Overrides:

setLocalBase in class Expression

twistedForBaseAndContext

public Expression twistedForBaseAndContext(Expression newBase,
                                           Expression context,
                                           Expression oldBase)

INTERNAL: Rebuild myself against the base, with the values of parameters supplied by the context expression. This is used for transforming a standalone expression (e.g. the join criteria of a mapping) into part of some larger expression. You normally would not call this directly, instead calling twist See the comment there for more details"

Overrides:

twistedForBaseAndContext in class Expression

valueFromObject

public Object valueFromObject(Object object,
                              AbstractSession session,
                              AbstractRecord translationRow,
                              int valueHolderPolicy,
                              boolean isObjectUnregistered)

INTERNAL: Return the value for in memory comparison. This is only valid for valueable expressions.

Overrides:

valueFromObject in class Expression

isObjectUnregistered - true if object possibly not a clone, but is being conformed against the unit of work cache.

writeDescriptionOn

public void writeDescriptionOn(BufferedWriter writer)
                        throws IOException

INTERNAL: Used to print a debug form of the expression tree.

Overrides:

writeDescriptionOn in class Expression

Throws:

IOException

writeFields

public void writeFields(ExpressionSQLPrinter printer,
                        List<DatabaseField> newFields,
                        SQLSelectStatement statement)

INTERNAL: Append the literal value into the printer, accounting for the first element

Overrides:

writeFields in class Expression
