Method Detail

getSampleValue

public java.lang.Object getSampleValue(ClassLoaderResolver clr)

Accessor for a sample value for this type.

Specified by:

getSampleValue in class JavaTypeMapping

Parameters:

clr - TODO

Returns:

The sample value

getJavaType

public java.lang.Class getJavaType()

Accessor for the (Java) type of data represented here

Specified by:

getJavaType in class JavaTypeMapping

Returns:

java.lang.Object

getJavaTypeForDatastoreMapping

public java.lang.String getJavaTypeForDatastoreMapping(int index)

Accessor for the name of the java-type actually used when mapping the particular datastore field. Returns Serializable since the object needs to be Serialisable

Overrides:

getJavaTypeForDatastoreMapping in class SingleFieldMapping

Parameters:

index - requested datastore field index.

Returns:

the name of java-type for the requested datastore field.

newLiteral

public ScalarExpression newLiteral(QueryExpression qs,
                                   java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from class: JavaTypeMapping

Creates a literal from an value. A string literal is enclosed in single quotes. for example: "literal". A string literal that includes a single quote is represented by two single quotes. for example: "literal''s". An exact numeric literal is a numeric value without a decimal point, such as 57, -957, +62. An approximate numeric literal is a numeric value in scientific notation, such as 7E3, -57.9E2, or a numeric value with a decimal, such as 7., -95.7, +6.2.

Specified by:

newLiteral in class JavaTypeMapping

Parameters:

qs - The Query statement

value - The object

Returns:

A Scalar Expression

newScalarExpression

public ScalarExpression newScalarExpression(QueryExpression qs,
                                            LogicSetExpression te)

Description copied from class: JavaTypeMapping

Creates a expression from a field name/table. e.g. tablename.fieldname; tablealias.fieldalias

Specified by:

newScalarExpression in class JavaTypeMapping

Parameters:

qs - The Query statement

te - the alias for the table

Returns:

A Scalar Expression
