Class CommonAbstractCriteriaImpl<T>

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.querydef.CommonAbstractCriteriaImpl<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractQueryImpl, CriteriaDeleteImpl, CriteriaUpdateImpl

public abstract class CommonAbstractCriteriaImpl<T>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

Purpose: Contains the implementation of the CommonAbstractCriteria interface of the JPA criteria API.

Description: This is the container class for the components that define a query. This is the superclass of CriteriaQuery, SubQuery, CriteriaDelete and CriteriaUpdate.

CommonAbstractCriteriaImpl

public CommonAbstractCriteriaImpl(Metamodel metamodel,
                                  CriteriaBuilderImpl queryBuilder,
                                  java.lang.Class<T> resultType)

Method Detail

getRestriction

public Predicate getRestriction()

Return the predicate that corresponds to the where clause restriction(s).

Returns:

where clause predicate

getResultType

public java.lang.Class<T> getResultType()

Return the result type of the query. If a result type was specified as an argument to the createQuery method, that type will be returned. If the query was created using the createTupleQuery method, the result type is Tuple. Otherwise, the result type is Object.

Returns:

result type

internalFrom

public Root internalFrom(EntityType entity)

Add a query root corresponding to the given entity, forming a Cartesian product with any existing roots.

Parameters:

entity - metamodel entity representing the entity of type X

Returns:

query root corresponding to the given entity

internalFrom

public Root internalFrom(java.lang.Class entityClass)

Add a query root corresponding to the given entity, forming a Cartesian product with any existing roots.

Parameters:

entityClass - the entity class

Returns:

query root corresponding to the given entity

where

public CommonAbstractCriteria where(<any> restriction)

Modify the query to restrict the query results according to the specified boolean expression. Replaces the previously added restriction(s), if any.

Parameters:

restriction - a simple or compound boolean expression

Returns:

the modified query

where

public CommonAbstractCriteria where(Predicate... restrictions)

Modify the query to restrict the query results according to the conjunction of the specified restriction predicates. Replaces the previously added restriction(s), if any. If no restrictions are specified, any previously added restrictions are simply removed.

Parameters:

restrictions - zero or more restriction predicates

Returns:

the modified query

subquery

public <U> <any> subquery(java.lang.Class<U> type)

Specify that the query is to be used as a subquery having the specified return type.

Returns:

subquery corresponding to the query

integrateRoot

protected abstract void integrateRoot(RootImpl root)

Used to use a root from a different query.

findRootAndParameters

protected void findRootAndParameters(<any> predicate)

getBaseExpression

protected abstract org.eclipse.persistence.expressions.Expression getBaseExpression()

addParameter

public void addParameter(<any> parameter)

getDatabaseQuery

protected abstract DatabaseQuery getDatabaseQuery()

getParameters

public java.util.Set<<any>> getParameters()

Return the parameters of the query

Returns:

the query parameters

translate

public DatabaseQuery translate()

Translates from the criteria query to a EclipseLink Database Query.
