org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.parser.AbstractExpression

org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.parser.EmptyCollectionComparisonExpression

All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class EmptyCollectionComparisonExpression
extends AbstractExpression

This expression tests whether or not the collection designated by the collection-valued path expression is empty (i.e, has no elements).

BNF: empty_collection_comparison_expression ::= collection_valued_path_expression IS [NOT] EMPTY

Constructor Detail

EmptyCollectionComparisonExpression

public EmptyCollectionComparisonExpression(AbstractExpression parent,
                                           AbstractExpression expression)

Creates a new NullComparisonExpression.

Parameters:

parent - The parent of this expression

expression - The Expression that represents the collection-valued path 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.

findQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF findQueryBNF(Expression expression)

Retrieves the JPQLQueryBNF that represents the fragment of this Expression that was used when parsing the given Expression.

Specified by:

findQueryBNF in interface Expression

Overrides:

findQueryBNF in class AbstractExpression

Parameters:

expression - The Expression that is a descendant of this one

Returns:

The JPQLQueryBNF that was used to parse the given expression

getActualEmptyIdentifier

public java.lang.String getActualEmptyIdentifier()

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

Returns:

The EMPTY identifier that was actually parsed

getActualIsIdentifier

public java.lang.String getActualIsIdentifier()

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

Returns:

The IS identifier that was actually parsed, or an empty string if it was not parsed

getActualNotIdentifier

public java.lang.String getActualNotIdentifier()

Returns the actual NOT found in the string representation of the JPQL query, which has the actual case that was used.

Returns:

The NOT identifier that was actually parsed, or an empty string if it was not parsed

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()

Returns the Expression that represents the collection-valued path expression if it was parsed.

Returns:

The expression that was parsed representing the collection valued path expression

getIdentifier

public java.lang.String getIdentifier()

Returns the identifier for this expression that may include NOT if it was parsed. The identifier IS should always be part of the identifier but it is possible it is not present when this expression is invalid.

Returns:

Either IS NOT EMPTY, NOT EMPTY, IS EMPTY or EMPTY

getQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF getQueryBNF()

Returns the BNF of this Expression.

Returns:

The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

hasExpression

public boolean hasExpression()

Determines whether the expression was parsed.

Returns:

true if the expression was parsed; false otherwise

hasNot

public boolean hasNot()

Determines whether the identifier NOT was part of the query.

Returns:

true if the identifier NOT was parsed; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterIs

public boolean hasSpaceAfterIs()

Determines whether a whitespace was found after IS.

Returns:

true if there was a whitespace after IS; false otherwise
