public class FieldExpression
extends DataExpression

Field expressions represent a field of a table. Their base is either a table or object expression. This is used for mapping queries and to allow queries on non-mapped field or tables.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)

INTERNAL: Return if the expression is equal to the other. This is used to allow dynamic expression's SQL to be cached. This must be over written by each subclass.

Overrides:

equals in class DataExpression

computeHashCode

public int computeHashCode()

INTERNAL: Compute a consistent hash-code for the expression. This is used to allow dynamic expression's SQL to be cached.

Overrides:

computeHashCode in class Expression

clearAliases

public void clearAliases()

INTERNAL:

Overrides:

clearAliases in class DataExpression

descriptionOfNodeType

public java.lang.String descriptionOfNodeType()

INTERNAL: Used for debug printing.

Overrides:

descriptionOfNodeType in class Expression

getAliasedField

public DatabaseField getAliasedField()

INTERNAL: Return the field appropriately aliased

Overrides:

getAliasedField in class DataExpression

getClonedField

public DatabaseField getClonedField()

INTERNAL: If there are any fields associated with this expression, return them

Overrides:

getClonedField in class Expression

getClonedFields

public java.util.Vector getClonedFields()

INTERNAL: If there are any fields associated with this expression, return them

getField

public DatabaseField getField()

INTERNAL:

Overrides:

getField in class DataExpression

getFields

public java.util.Vector getFields()

INTERNAL: Return all the fields

Overrides:

getFields in class Expression

getFieldValue

public java.lang.Object getFieldValue(java.lang.Object value,
                                      AbstractSession session)

INTERNAL: Provide for conversion of the passed object's value, based on the referenced field value.

Overrides:

getFieldValue in class Expression

isAttribute

public boolean isAttribute()

INTERNAL:

Overrides:

isAttribute in class DataExpression

isFieldExpression

public boolean isFieldExpression()

Description copied from class: Expression

INTERNAL:

Overrides:

isFieldExpression in class Expression

normalize

public Expression normalize(ExpressionNormalizer normalizer)

INTERNAL: Normalize the expression into a printable structure.

Overrides:

normalize in class DataExpression

printSQL

public void printSQL(ExpressionSQLPrinter printer)

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

Overrides:

printSQL in class DataExpression

printJava

public void printJava(ExpressionJavaPrinter printer)

INTERNAL: Print java for project class generation

Overrides:

printJava 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)

setField

public void setField(DatabaseField newField)

INTERNAL: Set the field in the mapping.

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"
