Type Parameters:

Z - the type of the parent path

X - the type of this path

All Implemented Interfaces:

Expression<X>, Path<X>, Selection<X>, TupleElement<X>, CriteriaExpression

FetchPathImpl, FromImpl, Joins.MapKey

 class PathImpl<Z,X>
extends ExpressionImpl<X>
implements Path<X>

Path is an expression often representing a persistent attribute traversed from another (parent) path. The type of the path is the type of the persistent attribute. If the persistent attribute is bindable, then further path can be traversed from this path.

Field Detail

_parent

protected final PathImpl<?,Z> _parent

_member

protected final Members.Member<? super Z,?> _member

Constructor Detail

PathImpl

protected PathImpl(Class<X> cls)

Protected constructor use by root path which neither represent a member nor has a parent.

PathImpl

public PathImpl(PathImpl<?,Z> parent,
                Members.Member<? super Z,?> member,
                Class<X> cls)

Create a path from the given non-null parent representing the given non-null member. The given class denotes the type expressed by this path.

Method Detail

getModel

public Bindable<X> getModel()

Returns the bindable object that corresponds to the path expression.

Specified by:

getModel in interface Path<X>

getParentPath

public final Path<Z> getParentPath()

Return the parent "node" in the path or null if no parent.

Specified by:

getParentPath in interface Path<X>

getInnermostParentPath

public PathImpl<?,?> getInnermostParentPath()

Gets the path that originates this traversal. Can be itself if this itself is the origin.

getEmbeddedFieldMetaData

protected FieldMetaData getEmbeddedFieldMetaData(FieldMetaData fmd)

getInnermostMember

protected Members.Member<?,?> getInnermostMember(PathImpl<?,?> parent,
                                                 Members.Member<?,?> member)

setCorrelatedPath
