Parameters:

name - The name of the criteria item to be created.

Returns:

The newly created simple criteria item.

createNestedRowItem

NestedRowItem createNestedRowItem(java.lang.String name,
                                  SimpleRow nestedRow)

Create a nested row criteria item. It can be added to a simple criteria row later.

Parameters:

nestedRow - The criteria row to be nested in the nested item.

Returns:

The newly created nested row criteria item.

addItem

supportsSubSelectItem

boolean supportsSubSelectItem()

Whether subselect view criteria item is supported. A subselect criteria item contains a nested criteria as its value.

Returns:

true if subselect criteria item is supported.

supportsNestedRowItem

boolean supportsNestedRowItem()

Whether nested row criteria item is supported. A nested row criteria item contains a nested criteria row in the same accessor.

Returns:

true if nested row criteria item is supported. false otherwise.

supportsExpressionAsItemName

boolean supportsExpressionAsItemName()

Whether an expression can be specified as the name of a criteria item. Usually the name would be the name of an attribute.
