Method Detail

get

public void get(FieldMetaData field,
                boolean nullTraversal)

Traverse into the given field of the current object, and update the current object to that field value.

Specified by:

get in interface Path

nullTraversal - if true, allow traversal through a null field

getType

public Class getType()

Description copied from interface: Value

Return the expected type for this value, or Object if the type is unknown.

Specified by:

getType in interface Value

getCandidateType

protected Class getCandidateType()

setImplicitType

public void setImplicitType(Class type)

Description copied from interface: Value

Set the implicit type of the value, based on how it is used in the filter. This method is only called on values who return Object from Value.getType().

Specified by:

setImplicitType in interface Value

last

public FieldMetaData last()

Description copied from interface: Path

Return the last field in the path, or null if the path does not not contain a final field.

Specified by:

last in interface Path

castTo

public void castTo(Class type)

Cast this path to the given type.

eval

protected Object eval(Object candidate,
                      Object orig,
                      StoreContext ctx,
                      Object[] params)

Description copied from class: Val

Return this value for the given candidate.

Specified by:

eval in class Val

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

get

public void get(FieldMetaData fmd,
                XMLMetaData meta)

Description copied from interface: Path

Traverse into the given field that maps to xml column, and update the current object to that field value.

Specified by:

get in interface Path

Parameters:

fmd - field maps to xml column

meta - associated xml mapping

get
