org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.internal.jpql.parser.BetweenExpression

All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class BetweenExpression
extends AbstractExpression

Used in conditional expression to determine whether the result of an expression falls within an inclusive range of values. Numeric, string and date expression can be evaluated in this way.

BNF: between_expression ::= arithmetic_expression [NOT] BETWEEN arithmetic_expression AND arithmetic_expression |
string_expression [NOT] BETWEEN string_expression AND string_expression |
datetime_expression [NOT] BETWEEN datetime_expression AND datetime_expression

Method Detail

accept

public void accept(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

Visits this Expression by the given visitor.

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor to visit this object

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.

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()

Returns the Expression representing the expression to be tested for a range of values.

Returns:

The expression that was parsed representing the expression to be tested

getIdentifier

public java.lang.String getIdentifier()

Returns the identifier for this expression that may include NOT if it was parsed.

Returns:

Either BETWEEN or NOT BETWEEN

getLowerBoundExpression

public Expression getLowerBoundExpression()

Returns the Expression representing the lower bound expression.

Returns:

The expression that was parsed representing the lower bound expression

getQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF getQueryBNF()

Returns the BNF of this Expression.

Specified by:

getQueryBNF in class AbstractExpression

Returns:

The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

getUpperBoundExpression

public Expression getUpperBoundExpression()

Returns the Expression representing the upper bound expression.

Returns:

The expression that was parsed representing the upper bound expression

hasAnd

public boolean hasAnd()

Determines whether the identifier AND was part of the query.

Returns:

true if the identifier AND was parsed; false otherwise

hasExpression

public boolean hasExpression()

Determines whether the expression before the identifier was parsed.

Returns:

true if the query has the expression before BETWEEN; false otherwise

hasLowerBoundExpression

public boolean hasLowerBoundExpression()

Determines whether the lower bound expression was parsed.

Returns:

true if the query has the lower bound expression; false otherwise

hasNot

public boolean hasNot()

Determines whether the identifier NOT was part of the query.

Returns:

true if the identifier NOT was parsed; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterAnd

public boolean hasSpaceAfterAnd()

Determines whether a whitespace was found after AND.

Returns:

true if there was a whitespace after AND; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterBetween

public boolean hasSpaceAfterBetween()

Determines whether a whitespace was found after BETWEEN.

Returns:

true if there was a whitespace after BETWEEN; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterLowerBound

public boolean hasSpaceAfterLowerBound()

Determines whether a whitespace was found after the lower bound expression.

Returns:

true if there was a whitespace after the lower bound expression; false otherwise

hasUpperBoundExpression

public boolean hasUpperBoundExpression()

Determines whether the upper bound expression was parsed.

Returns:

true if the query has the upper bound expression; false otherwise
