Class WhenClause

java.lang.Object

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

org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.parser.WhenClause

All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class WhenClause
extends AbstractExpression

A WHEN predicate is used to calculate a condition and when it's true, its THEN will be executed.

BNF: when_clause ::= WHEN conditional_expression THEN scalar_expression

or

BNF: simple_when_clause ::= WHEN scalar_expression THEN scalar_expression

Constructor Detail

WhenClause

public WhenClause(AbstractExpression parent)

Creates a new WhenClause.

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.

buildWhenCollectionExpression

public CollectionExpression buildWhenCollectionExpression()

Creates a new CollectionExpression that will wrap the single WHEN expression.

Returns:

The single WHEN expression represented by a temporary collection

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

getActualThenIdentifier

public java.lang.String getActualThenIdentifier()

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

Returns:

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

getActualWhenIdentifier

public java.lang.String getActualWhenIdentifier()

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

Returns:

The WHEN 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

getThenExpression

public AbstractExpression getThenExpression()

Returns the Expression representing the expression following the identifier THEN.

Returns:

The expression representing the expression executed if the predicate is true

getWhenExpression

public AbstractExpression getWhenExpression()

Returns the Expression representing the conditional predicate of the clause.

Returns:

The expression following the WHEN identifier

hasSpaceAfterThen

public boolean hasSpaceAfterThen()

Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after THEN.

Returns:

true if there was a whitespace after THEN; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterWhen

public boolean hasSpaceAfterWhen()

Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after WHEN.

Returns:

true if there was a whitespace after WHEN; false otherwise

hasSpaceAfterWhenExpression

public boolean hasSpaceAfterWhenExpression()

Determines whether a whitespace was parsed after the conditional expression.

Returns:

true if there was a whitespace after the conditional expression; false otherwise

hasThen

public boolean hasThen()

Determines whether the identifier THEN was part of the query.

Returns:

true if the identifier THEN was parsed; false otherwise

hasThenExpression

public boolean hasThenExpression()

Determines whether the THEN expression of the query was parsed.

Returns:

true the THEN expression was parsed; false if nothing was parsed

hasWhenExpression

public boolean hasWhenExpression()

Determines whether the conditional expression of the query was parsed.

Returns:

true the conditional expression was parsed; false if nothing was parsed
