All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class ExistsExpression

extends AbstractSingleEncapsulatedExpression

An EXISTS expression is a predicate that is true only if the result of the subquery consists of one or more values and that is false otherwise.

BNF: exists_expression ::= [NOT] EXISTS(subquery)

Constructor Detail

ExistsExpression

ExistsExpression(AbstractExpression parent)

Creates a new ExistsExpression.

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

encapsulatedExpressionBNF

public java.lang.String encapsulatedExpressionBNF()

Returns the BNF used to parse the encapsulated expression.

Specified by:

encapsulatedExpressionBNF in class AbstractSingleEncapsulatedExpression

Returns:

The BNF used to parse the encapsulated 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

hasNot

public boolean hasNot()

Determines whether the identifier NOT was parsed.

Returns:

true if the identifier NOT was parsed; false otherwise

parse

AbstractExpression parse(WordParser wordParser,
                         JPQLQueryBNF queryBNF,
                         boolean tolerant)

Parses the given text by using the specified BNF.

Overrides:

parse in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

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

queryBNF - The grammar used to retrieve the possible expression factories

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

Returns:

The Expression representing the given sub-query

parseIdentifier

java.lang.String parseIdentifier(WordParser wordParser)

Parses the identifier of this expression.

Specified by:

parseIdentifier in class AbstractEncapsulatedExpression

Returns:

The identifier for this expression
