Method Detail

getType

Class getType()
Return the expected type for this value, or Object if the type is unknown.

isVariable

boolean isVariable()
Return true if this value is a variable.


isAggregate

boolean isAggregate()
Return true if this value is an aggregate.


isXPath

boolean isXPath()
Return true if this value is an XML Path.


getMetaData

ClassMetaData getMetaData()
Return any associated persistent type.


setMetaData

void setMetaData(ClassMetaData meta)
Associate a persistent type with this value.


acceptVisit

void acceptVisit(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
Accept a visit from a tree visitor.
