Method Detail

hasFixedResult

public boolean hasFixedResult(Query q)

Return whether this expression, and more specifically the left and right parts of the expression return a fixed result. Sub-classes may override this method for more tailored results, especially if the binary expression does not demand a RHS.

Specified by:

hasFixedResult in class Expression

Parameters:

q - The Query object.

Returns:

true if the expression has a fixed result.

getExpectedReturnType

public Class getExpectedReturnType(Query q)

Return the expected return type from this expression.

Specified by:

getExpectedReturnType in class Expression

Parameters:

q - The Query object.

Returns:

The class of the return type, this method ALWAYS returns Boolean.class.

init

public void init(Query q)
          throws QueryParseException

Init the expression. Sub-classes will often override this method. This method just calls: Expression.init(Query) on the LHS and RHS (if present) of the expression.

Specified by:

init in class Expression

Parameters:

q - The Query object.

Throws:

QueryParseException - If the LHS and/or RHS cannot be inited.

getValue

public Object getValue(Object o,
                       Query q)
                throws QueryExecutionException

Get the value of this expression. This will always return an instance of: java.lang.Boolean created as the result of a call to: Expression.getValue(Object,Query).

Specified by:

getValue in class Expression

Parameters:

o - The object to evaluate the expression on.

q - The Query object.

Returns:

An instance of Boolean.

Throws:

QueryExecutionException - If the expression cannot be evaluated.

getRight

public Expression getRight()

Get the RHS.

Returns:

The RHS of the expression.

getLeft

public Expression getLeft()

Get the LHS.

Returns:

The LHS of the expression.

setLeft

public void setLeft(Expression exp)

setRight

public void setRight(Expression exp)
