Method Detail

descriptionOfNodeType

public java.lang.String descriptionOfNodeType()

INTERNAL: Used for debug printing.

Overrides:

descriptionOfNodeType in class Expression

getBuilder

public ExpressionBuilder getBuilder()

Return the expression builder which is the ultimate base of this expression, or null if there isn't one (shouldn't happen if we start from a root)

Specified by:

getBuilder in class Expression

getLocalBase

protected Expression getLocalBase()

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue()

isLiteralExpression

public boolean isLiteralExpression()

Description copied from class: Expression

INTERNAL:

Overrides:

isLiteralExpression in class Expression

postCopyIn

protected void postCopyIn(java.util.Dictionary alreadyDone)

INTERNAL: Used for cloning.

Overrides:

postCopyIn in class Expression

printSQL

public void printSQL(ExpressionSQLPrinter printer)

INTERNAL: Print SQL onto the stream, using the ExpressionPrinter for context

Specified by:

printSQL in class Expression

printSQLWithoutConversion

public void printSQLWithoutConversion(ExpressionSQLPrinter printer)

INTERNAL: Print SQL, this is called from functions, so must not be converted through the mapping.

Overrides:

printSQLWithoutConversion in class Expression

rebuildOn

public Expression rebuildOn(Expression newBase)

INTERNAL: This expression is built on a different base than the one we want. Rebuild it and return the root of the new tree

Specified by:

rebuildOn in class Expression

See Also:

Expression.cloneUsing(Expression newBase)

setLocalBase

public void setLocalBase(Expression e)

Description copied from class: Expression

INTERNAL: Set the local base expression, ie the one on the other side of the operator Most types will ignore this, since they don't need it.

Overrides:

setLocalBase in class Expression

twistedForBaseAndContext

public Expression twistedForBaseAndContext(Expression newBase,
                                           Expression context)

INTERNAL: Rebuild myself against the base, with the values of parameters supplied by the context expression. This is used for transforming a standalone expression (e.g. the join criteria of a mapping) into part of some larger expression. You normally would not call this directly, instead calling twist See the comment there for more details"

Overrides:

twistedForBaseAndContext in class Expression

valueFromObject

public java.lang.Object valueFromObject(java.lang.Object object,
                                        AbstractSession session,
                                        AbstractRecord translationRow,

                                        boolean isObjectUnregistered)

INTERNAL: Return the value for in memory comparison. This is only valid for valueable expressions.

Overrides:

valueFromObject in class Expression

writeDescriptionOn

public void writeDescriptionOn(java.io.BufferedWriter writer)
                        throws java.io.IOException

INTERNAL: Used to print a debug form of the expression tree.

Overrides:

writeDescriptionOn in class Expression

Throws:

java.io.IOException
