public abstract class AbstractFromClause
extends AbstractExpression

The FROM clause of a query defines the domain of the query by declaring identification variables. An identification variable is an identifier declared in the FROM clause of a query. The domain of the query may be constrained by path expressions. Identification variables designate instances of a particular entity abstract schema type. The FROM clause can contain multiple identification variable declarations separated by a comma (,).

Method Detail

acceptChildren

public void acceptChildren(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

Visits the children of this Expression. This method can be used to optimize traversing the children since a new list is not created every time Expression.children() or Expression.getChildren() is called.

This does not traverse the Expression sub-hierarchy, use an subclass of AbstractTraverseChildrenVisitor in order to traverse the entire sub-hierarchy.

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor to visit the children of this object.

buildCollectionExpression

public final CollectionExpression buildCollectionExpression()

Creates a new CollectionExpression that will wrap the single declaration.

Returns:

The single declaration represented by a temporary collection

declarationBNF

public abstract JPQLQueryBNF declarationBNF()

Returns the BNF of the declaration part of this clause.

Returns:

The BNF of the declaration part of this clause

getDeclaration

public final Expression getDeclaration()

Returns the Expression that represents the declaration of this clause.

Returns:

The expression that was parsed representing the declaration

hasDeclaration

public final boolean hasDeclaration()

Determines whether the declaration of this clause was parsed.

Returns:

true if the declaration of this clause was parsed; false if it was not parsed

hasSpaceAfterFrom

public final boolean hasSpaceAfterFrom()

Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after the FROM identifier.

Returns:

true if a whitespace was parsed after the FROM identifier; false otherwise

setIdentificationVariableDeclaration

public final void setIdentificationVariableDeclaration(java.lang.String abstractSchemaName,
                                        java.lang.String identificationVariable)

Manually sets the identification variable declaration. Which only supports adding a single declaration.

Parameters:

abstractSchemaName - The abstract schema name to be mapped to the given variable

identificationVariable - The identification variable mapping the given schema name
