/**
 * The Query interface allows applications to obtain persistent
 * instances, values, and aggregate data from the data store.
 *
 * The {@link PersistenceManager} is the factory for Query 
 * instances.  There may be many Query instances associated with a 
 * PersistenceManager.  Multiple queries might be executed 
 * simultaneously by different threads, but the implementation might choose to 
 * execute them serially.  In either case, the implementation must be thread-safe.
 *
 * 

There are three required elements in a Query: the class of * the results, the candidate collection of instances, and the filter. * *

There are optional elements: parameter declarations, variable * declarations, import statements, ordering and grouping specifications, * result and result class, the range of results, * and flags indicating whether the query result * is unique and whether the query can be modified. *

The query namespace is modeled after methods in Java: *

    *
  • setClass corresponds to the class definition *
  • declareParameters corresponds to formal parameters of a method *
  • declareVariables corresponds to local variables of a method *
  • setFilter and setOrdering correspond to the method body *
*

There are two namespaces in queries. Type names have their own namespace * that is separate from the namespace for fields, variables and parameters. *

The method setClass introduces the name of the candidate * class in the type namespace. The method declareImports * introduces the names of the imported class or interface types in the type * namespace. Imported type names must be unique. When used (e.g. in a parameter * declaration, cast expression, etc.) a type name must be the name of the * candidate class, the name of a class or interface imported by method * declareImports, or denote a class or interface from the same * package as the candidate class. *

The method setClass introduces the names of the candidate * class fields. *

The method declareParameters introduces the names of the * parameters. A name introduced by declareParameters hides the * name of a candidate class field of the same name. Parameter names must be * unique. *

The method declareVariables introduces the names of the * variables. A name introduced by declareVariables hides the name * of a candidate class field if equal. Variable names must be unique and must * not conflict with parameter names. *

The result of the query by default is a list of result class instances, * but might be specified via setResult. The class of the result * by default is the candidate class, but might be specified via setResultClass. *

A hidden field may be accessed using the 'this' qualifier: this.fieldName. *

The Query interface provides methods which execute the query * based on the parameters given. They return a single instance or a * List of result class instances which the * user can iterate to get results. The signature * of the execute methods specifies that they return an * Object which must be cast to the appropriate result by the user. *

Any parameters passed to the execute methods are used only * for this execution, and are not remembered for future execution. * @version 2.1 * * @param T Candidate class for the query */ public interface Query extends AutoCloseable, Serializable { /** * The string constant used as the first argument to * {@link PersistenceManager#newQuery(String,Object)} to identify that the * created query should obey the JDOQL syntax and semantic rules. *

This is the default query language used when creating a query with any * of the other {@link PersistenceManager#newQuery} methods, except * {@link PersistenceManager#newQuery(Object)}, which uses the query * language of the compiled query template object passed to that method.

* @since 2.0 */ String SQL = "javax.jdo.query.SQL"; /** * Set the class of the candidate instances of the query. *

The filter specification is a String containing a Boolean * expression that is to be evaluated for each of the instances * in the candidate collection. If the filter is not specified, * then it defaults to "true", which has the effect of filtering * the input Collection only for class type. *

An element of the candidate collection is returned in the result if: *

  • it is assignment compatible to the candidate Class * of the Query; and *
  • for all variables there exists a value for which the filter * expression evaluates to true. *
*

The user may denote uniqueness in the filter expression by * explicitly declaring an expression (for example, e1 != e2). *

Rules for constructing valid expressions follow the Java * language, except for these differences: *

    *
  • Equality and ordering comparisons between primitives and instances * of wrapper classes are valid. *
  • Equality and ordering comparisons of Date fields and * Date parameters are valid. *
  • White space (non-printing characters space, tab, carriage * return, and line feed) is a separator and is otherwise ignored. *
  • The assignment operators =, +=, etc. and * pre- and post-increment and -decrement are not supported. Therefore, * there are no side effects from evaluation of any expressions. *
  • Methods, including object construction, are not supported, except * for Collection.contains(Object o), * Collection.isEmpty(), * String.startsWith(String s), and * String.endsWith(String e). Implementations might choose to * support non-mutating method calls as non-standard extensions. *
  • Navigation through a null-valued field, which would * throw NullPointerException, is treated as if the filter * expression returned false for the evaluation of the current * set of variable values. Other values for variables might still qualify * the candidate instance for inclusion in the result set. *
  • Navigation through multi-valued fields (Collection * types) is specified using a variable declaration and the * Collection.contains(Object o) method. *
*

Identifiers in the expression are considered to be in the name * space of the specified class, with the addition of declared imports, * parameters and variables. As in the Java language, this is a * reserved word which means the element of the collection being evaluated. *

Navigation through single-valued fields is specified by the Java * language syntax of field_name.field_name....field_name. *
