Class OrderByClause

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.internal.jpql.parser.StringExpression
org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.internal.jpql.parser.AbstractExpression
org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.internal.jpql.parser.OrderByClause

All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class OrderByClause

extends AbstractExpression

The ORDER BY clause allows the objects or values that are returned by the query to be ordered.

BNF: orderby_clause ::= ORDER BY orderby_item {, orderby_item}*

Field Detail

hasSpaceAfterOrderBy

private boolean hasSpaceAfterOrderBy

Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after ORDER BY.

orderByItems

private AbstractExpression orderByItems

The order by items.

Constructor Detail

OrderByClause

OrderByClause(AbstractExpression parent)

Creates a new OrderByClause.

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 order by item.

Returns:

The single order by item represented by a temporary collection

getOrderByItems

public Expression getOrderByItems()

Returns the Expression representing the list of items to order.

Returns:

The expression representing the list of items to order

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

hasOrderByItems

public boolean hasOrderByItems()

Determines whether the list of items to order was parsed.

Returns:

true the list of items to order was parsed; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterOrderBy

public boolean hasSpaceAfterOrderBy()

Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after ORDER BY.

Returns:

true if a whitespace was parsed after ORDER BY; 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
