Field Detail

expression

private AbstractExpression expression
The Expression that represents the collection-valued path expression.

hasIs

private boolean hasIs
Determines whether the identifier IS was parsed.

hasNot

private boolean hasNot
Determines whether the identifier NOT was parsed.

hasSpaceAfterIs

private boolean hasSpaceAfterIs
Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after IS.
Constructor Detail

EmptyCollectionComparisonExpression

EmptyCollectionComparisonExpression(AbstractExpression parent,
                                    AbstractExpression expression)
Creates a new NullComparisonExpression.
Parameters:
parent - The parent of this expression
expression - The Expression that represents the collection-valued path expression

EmptyCollectionComparisonExpression

EmptyCollectionComparisonExpression(AbstractExpression parent,
                                    java.lang.String identifier,
                                    AbstractExpression expression)
Creates a new NullComparisonExpression.
Parameters:
parent - The parent of this expression
identifier - The actual identifier, which is either IS_EMPTY or IS_NOT_EMPTY
expression - The Expression that represents the collection-valued path 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

buildConverter

private EmptyCollectionComparisonExpression.StateFieldPathToCollectionValuedPathConverter buildConverter(AbstractExpression expression)

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()
Returns the Expression that represents the collection-valued path expression if it was parsed.
Returns:
The expression that was parsed representing the collection valued path expression

getIdentifier

public java.lang.String getIdentifier()
Returns the identifier for this expression that may include NOT if it was parsed. The identifier IS should always be part of the identifier but it is possible it is not present when this expression is invalid.
Returns:
Either IS NOT EMPTY, NOT EMPTY, IS EMPTY or EMPTY

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

hasExpression

public boolean hasExpression()
Determines whether the expression was parsed.
Returns:
true if the expression was parsed; 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

hasSpaceAfterIs

public boolean hasSpaceAfterIs()
Determines whether a whitespace was found after IS.
Returns:
true if there was a whitespace after IS; false otherwise

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

updateExpression

private void updateExpression(AbstractExpression expression)
