Method Detail

addSelectionFilterExpression

public boolean addSelectionFilterExpression(com.endeca.mdex.eql_parser.types.ExpressionBase expr)

Add a LQL AST expression fragment to the collection of selection expressions

Parameters:

expr - the LQL AST expression fragment

Returns:

true if the underlying collection is changed as a result of this call. See ArrayList.add(Object)

public boolean addDataSourceFilterExpression(com.endeca.mdex.eql_parser.types.ExpressionBase expr)

Add a LQL AST expression fragment to the collection of data source expressions

Parameters:

expr - the LQL AST expression fragment

Returns:

true if the underlying collection is changed as a result of this call. See ArrayList.add(Object)

hasSelectionFilterExpressions

public boolean hasSelectionFilterExpressions()

Convenience to check if this collection contains any selection expressions

Returns:

true if any selection filters exist. Based on ArrayList.isEmpty()

hasDataSourceFilterExpressions

public boolean hasDataSourceFilterExpressions()

Convenience to check if this collection contains any data source expressions

Returns:

true if any data source filters exist. Based on ArrayList.isEmpty()
