ExpressionQuery

public ExpressionQuery(Class<? extends T> elementClass,
                       IExpression expression,
                       Object... parameters)

                       Object... parameters)

Method Detail

getElementClass

public Class<? extends T> getElementClass()

perform

public IQueryResult<T> perform(IIndexProvider<T> indexProvider)

Description copied from interface: IQueryWithIndex

Evaluates the query using the indexProvider. The query is first analyzed for index candidates (typically expressions like id == <some value>) and if possible, indexes returned by IIndexProvider.getIndex(String) will be used in place of the iterator returned by IIndexProvider.everything().

Specified by:

perform in interface IQueryWithIndex<T>

Parameters:

indexProvider - The provider of the material to evaluate the query on

Returns:

The results of the query.

perform

public IQueryResult<T> perform(Iterator<T> iterator)

Description copied from interface: IQuery

Evaluates the query for a specific input.

Specified by:

perform in interface IQuery<T>

Parameters:

iterator - The elements for which to evaluate the query on

Returns:

The results of the query.

getExpression

public IContextExpression<T> getExpression()

Description copied from interface: IQuery

Returns the IExpression backing this query or null if this is not an expression query.

Specified by:

getExpression in interface IQuery<T>

Returns:

An expression or null.

getElementClass

public static <T> Class<? extends T> getElementClass(IQuery<T> query)

createExpression

public static <T> IContextExpression<T> createExpression(IQuery<T> query)
