public final class RangeVariableDeclaration
extends AbstractExpression

Range variable declarations allow the developer to designate a "root" for objects which may not be reachable by navigation. In order to select values by comparing more than one instance of an entity abstract schema type, more than one identification variable ranging over the abstract schema type is needed in the FROM clause.

Field Detail

abstractSchemaName

hasAs

private boolean hasAs
Determines whether the identifier AS was parsed.

hasSpaceAfterAs

private boolean hasSpaceAfterAs
Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after AS.

hasSpaceAfterSchemaName

private boolean hasSpaceAfterSchemaName
Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after the abstract schema name.

Constructor Detail

RangeVariableDeclaration

RangeVariableDeclaration(AbstractExpression parent)
Creates a new RangeVariableDeclaration.
Parameters:
parent - The parent of this 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.

addChildrenTo

void addChildrenTo(java.util.Collection<Expression> children)
Adds the children of this Expression to the given collection.
Overrides:
addChildrenTo in class AbstractExpression
Parameters:
children - The collection used to store the children

addOrderedChildrenTo

void addOrderedChildrenTo(java.util.List<StringExpression> children)
Adds the StringExpressions representing this Expression.
Overrides:
addOrderedChildrenTo in class AbstractExpression
Parameters:
children - The list used to store the string representation of this Expression

getAbstractSchemaName

public Expression getAbstractSchemaName()
Returns the Expression that represents the abstract schema name.
Returns:
The expression that was parsed representing the abstract schema name

getIdentificationVariable

public Expression getIdentificationVariable()
Returns the Expression that represents the identification variable.
Returns:
The expression that was parsed representing the identification variable

getQueryBNF

Returns the BNF of this Expression.
Specified by:
getQueryBNF in class AbstractExpression
Returns:
The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

Determines whether the abstract schema name was parsed.
Returns:
true if the abstract schema name was parsed; false otherwise

Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after the abstract schema name.
Returns:
true if there was a whitespace after the abstract schema name; false otherwise

public boolean hasSpaceAfterAs()
Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after AS.
Returns:
true if there was a whitespace after AS; false otherwise

hasVirtualIdentificationVariable

public boolean hasVirtualIdentificationVariable()
Determines whether this identification variable is virtual, meaning it's not part of the query but is required for proper navigability.
Returns:
true if this identification variable was virtually created to fully qualify path expression; false if it was parsed

isParsingComplete

setVirtualIdentificationVariable

public void setVirtualIdentificationVariable(java.lang.String variableName,
                                             java.lang.String path)
