Constructor Detail

AttributeNode

public AttributeNode()

Create a new AttributeNode

AttributeNode

public AttributeNode(java.lang.String name)

Create a new AttributeNode with the passed name

Parameters:

name - the attribute name

Method Detail

qualifyAttributeAccess

public Node qualifyAttributeAccess(ParseTreeContext context)

INTERNAL If called this AttributeNode represents an unqualified field access. The method returns a DotNode representing a qualified field access with the base variable as left child node and the attribute as right child node.

Overrides:

qualifyAttributeAccess in class Node

validate

public void validate(ParseTreeContext context)

INTERNAL Validate the current node and calculates its type.

Overrides:

validate in class Node

addToExpression

public Expression addToExpression(Expression parentExpression,
                                  GenerationContext context)

Description copied from class: Node

INTERNAL Add my expression semantics to the parentExpression. Each subclass will add a different expression and thus will need to override this method

Overrides:

addToExpression in class Node

isAttributeNode

public boolean isAttributeNode()

INTERNAL Is this node an AttributeNode

Overrides:

isAttributeNode in class Node

getAttributeName

public java.lang.String getAttributeName()

setAttributeName

public void setAttributeName(java.lang.String name)

isOuterJoin

public boolean isOuterJoin()

setOuterJoin

public void setOuterJoin(boolean outerJoin)

requiresCollectionAttribute

public boolean requiresCollectionAttribute()

setRequiresCollectionAttribute

public void setRequiresCollectionAttribute(boolean requiresCollectionAttribute)

getMapping

public DatabaseMapping getMapping()

setMapping

public void setMapping(DatabaseMapping mapping)

isCollectionAttribute

public boolean isCollectionAttribute()

resolveMapping

public DatabaseMapping resolveMapping(GenerationContext context,
                                      java.lang.Class ownerClass)

resolveMapping: Answer the mapping which corresponds to my variableName.

Overrides:

resolveMapping in class Node

resolveClass

public java.lang.Class resolveClass(GenerationContext context,
                                    java.lang.Class ownerClass)

resolveClass: Answer the class for the mapping associated with the my variableName in the ownerClass. Answer null if the node represents a mapping that doesn't exist

Overrides:

resolveClass in class Node

toString

public java.lang.String toString(int indent)

Overrides:

toString in class Node

getAsString

public java.lang.String getAsString()

INTERNAL Get the string representation of this node.

Overrides:

getAsString in class Node
