org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.parser.DateTime

All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class DateTime
extends AbstractExpression

This Expression represents a date or time. It supports the following identifiers:

CURRENT_DATE: This function returns the value of current date on the database server.

CURRENT_TIME: This function returns the value of current time on the database server.

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP: This function returns the value of current timestamp on the database server.

BNF: functions_returning_datetime ::= CURRENT_DATE | CURRENT_TIME | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

The JDBC escape syntax may be used for the specification of date, time, and timestamp literals.

BNF: expression ::= {d 'yyyy-mm-dd'} | {t 'hh:mm:ss'} | {ts 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.f...'}

Constructor Detail

DateTime

public DateTime(AbstractExpression parent)

Creates a new DateTime.

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 ExpressionVisitor 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() is called.

This does not traverse the Expression sub-hierarchy, use a subclass of AbstractTraverseChildrenVisitor in order to traverse the entire sub-hierarchy.

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor to visit the children of this object.

getActualIdentifier

public java.lang.String getActualIdentifier()

Returns the actual identifier found in the string representation of the JPQL query, which has the actual case that was used.

Returns:

The identifier that was actually parsed

getQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF getQueryBNF()

Returns the BNF of this Expression.

Returns:

The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

getText

public java.lang.String getText()

Returns the encapsulated text of this AbstractExpression, which can be used in various ways, it can be a keyword, a literal, etc.

Returns:

Either the JPQL identifier for this AbstractExpression, the literal it encapsulates or an empty string

isCurrentDate

public boolean isCurrentDate()

Determines whether this DateTime represents the JPQL identifier CURRENT_DATE.

Returns:

true if this Expression represents CURRENT_DATE; false otherwise

isCurrentTime

public boolean isCurrentTime()

Determines whether this DateTime represents the JPQL identifier CURRENT_TIME.

Returns:

true if this Expression represents CURRENT_TIME; false otherwise

isCurrentTimestamp

public boolean isCurrentTimestamp()

Determines whether this DateTime represents the JPQL identifier CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.

Returns:

true if this Expression represents CURRENT_TIMESTAMP; false otherwise

isJDBCDate

public boolean isJDBCDate()

Determines whether this DateTime represents the JDBC escape syntax for date, time, timestamp formats.

Returns:

true if this Expression represents a JDBC escape syntax; false otherwise

toActualText

public java.lang.String toActualText()

Generates a string representation of this Expression, which needs 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.

Specified by:

toActualText in interface Expression

Overrides:

toActualText in class AbstractExpression

Returns:

The string representation of this Expression

toParsedText

public java.lang.String toParsedText()

Returns a string representation of this Expression and its children. The expression should contain whitespace even if the beautified version would not have any. For instance, "SELECT e " should be returned where Expression.toParsedText() would return "SELECT e".

Specified by:

toParsedText in interface Expression

Overrides:

toParsedText in class AbstractExpression

Returns:

The string representation of this Expression
