Expression

public final class ConstructorExpression

extends AbstractExpression

In the SELECT clause a constructor may be used in the SELECT list to return one or more Java instances. The specified class is not required to be an entity or to be mapped to the database. The constructor name must be fully qualified.

BNF: constructor_expression ::= NEW constructor_name(constructor_item {, constructor_item}*)

Field Detail

className

private java.lang.String className

The fully qualified class name of this expression.

constructorItems

private AbstractExpression constructorItems

The list of constructor items.

hasLeftParenthesis

private boolean hasLeftParenthesis

Flag used to determine if the closing parenthesis is present in the query.

hasRightParenthesis

private boolean hasRightParenthesis

Flag used to determine if the opening parenthesis is present in the query.

hasSpaceAfterConstructorName

private boolean hasSpaceAfterConstructorName

When the expression is not valid and the left parenthesis is missing, then a space might have been parsed.

hasSpaceAfterNew

private boolean hasSpaceAfterNew

Determines whether there is a whitespace after the identifier NEW.

Constructor Detail

ConstructorExpression

ConstructorExpression(AbstractExpression parent)

Creates a new ConstructorExpression.

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

buildCollectionExpression

public CollectionExpression buildCollectionExpression()

Creates a new CollectionExpression that will wrap the single constructor item.

Returns:

The single constructor item represented by a temporary collection

getClassName

public java.lang.String getClassName()

Returns the fully qualified class name that will be used to retrieve the constructor.

Returns:

The fully qualified class name or an empty string if it is not defined

getConstructorItems

public Expression getConstructorItems()

Returns the constructor items aggregated into a single expression and separated by commas or a single expression.

Returns:

The constructor item or items or an invalid or "null" 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

hasConstructorItems

public boolean hasConstructorItems()

Determines whether the constructor items were parsed.

Returns:

true if the query had at least one constructor item; false otherwise

hasLeftParenthesis

public boolean hasLeftParenthesis()

Determines whether the open parenthesis was parsed or not.

Returns:

true if the open parenthesis was present in the string version of the query; false otherwise

hasRightParenthesis

public boolean hasRightParenthesis()

Determines whether the close parenthesis was parsed or not.

Returns:

true if the close parenthesis was present in the string version of the query; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterNew

public boolean hasSpaceAfterNew()

Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after NEW.

Returns:

true if there was a whitespace after NEW; false otherwise

isParsingComplete

boolean isParsingComplete(WordParser wordParser,
                          java.lang.String word,
                          Expression expression)

Determines whether the parsing is complete based on what is left in the given text. The text is never empty.

Overrides:

isParsingComplete in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

wordParser - The text to parse based on the current position of the cursor

word - The word that was retrieved from the given text, which is the first word in the text

expression - The Expression that has already been parsed

Returns:

true if the text no longer can't be parsed by the current expression; false if more can be parsed

parse

void parse(WordParser wordParser,
           boolean tolerant)

Parses the query by starting at the current position, which is part of the given WordParser.

Specified by:

parse in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

wordParser - The text to parse based on the current position of the cursor

tolerant - Determines whether the parsing system should be tolerant, meaning if it should try to parse invalid or incomplete queries

toParsedText

void toParsedText(java.lang.StringBuilder writer,
                  boolean includeVirtual)

Generates a string representation of this Expression.

Specified by:

toParsedText in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

writer - The buffer used to append this Expression's string representation

includeVirtual - Determines whether to include any characters that are considered virtual, i.e. that was parsed when the query is incomplete and is needed for functionality like content assist
