All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class IdentificationVariableDeclaration
extends AbstractExpression

An identification variable is a valid identifier declared in the FROM clause of a query. All identification variables must be declared in the FROM clause. Identification variables cannot be declared in other clauses. An identification variable must not be a reserved identifier or have the same name as any entity in the same persistence unit: Identification variables are case insensitive. An identification variable evaluates to a value of the type of the expression used in declaring the variable.

BNF: identification_variable_declaration ::= range_variable_declaration { join | fetch_join }*

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.

buildCollectionExpression

public CollectionExpression buildCollectionExpression()

Creates a new CollectionExpression that will wrap the single join expression.

Returns:

The single join expression represented by a temporary collection

getJoins

public Expression getJoins()

Returns the unique join (fetch join) or the list of joins (fetch joins) expression.

Returns:

The JOIN expression(s) or a null expression if none was declared

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

getRangeVariableDeclaration

public Expression getRangeVariableDeclaration()

Returns the variable declaration, which is the abstract schema name and the identification variable.

Returns:

The Expression representing the range variable declaration

hasJoins

public boolean hasJoins()

Determines whether this declaration has any join expressions.

Returns:

true if at least one join expression was specified; false otherwise

hasRangeVariableDeclaration

public boolean hasRangeVariableDeclaration()

Determines whether the range variable declaration was parsed.

Returns:

true if the range variable declaration was parsed; false otherwise

hasSpace

public boolean hasSpace()

Determines whether there is a space after the range variable declaration.

Returns:

true if the range variable declaration is followed by a space, false otherwise
