All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression

public final class ExistsExpression
extends AbstractSingleEncapsulatedExpression

An EXISTS expression is a predicate that is true only if the result of the subquery consists of one or more values and that is false otherwise.

BNF: exists_expression ::= [NOT] EXISTS(subquery)

Constructor Detail

ExistsExpression

public ExistsExpression(AbstractExpression parent)

Creates a new ExistsExpression.

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

getEncapsulatedExpressionQueryBNFId

public java.lang.String getEncapsulatedExpressionQueryBNFId()

Returns the BNF used to parse the encapsulated expression.

Specified by:

getEncapsulatedExpressionQueryBNFId in class AbstractSingleEncapsulatedExpression

Returns:

The BNF used to parse the encapsulated expression

getActualNotIdentifier

public java.lang.String getActualNotIdentifier()

Returns the actual NOT identifier 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

getQueryBNF

public JPQLQueryBNF getQueryBNF()

Returns the BNF of this Expression.

Returns:

The JPQLQueryBNF, which represents the grammar of this Expression

hasNot

public boolean hasNot()

Determines whether the identifier NOT was parsed.

Returns:

true if the identifier NOT was parsed; false otherwise
