/**
 * 

* Purpose: Define an object-level representation of a database query where clause.

*

* Description: An expression is a tree-like structure that defines the selection * criteria for a query against objects in the database. The expression has the advantage * over SQL by being at the object-level, i.e. the object model attributes and relationships * can be used to be query on instead of the database field names. * Because it is an object, not a string the expression has the advantage that is can be * easily manipulated through code to easily build complex selection criterias.

*

* Responsibilities: *

    *
  • Store the selection criteria in a tree-like structure. *
  • Support public manipulation protocols for all comparison and function operators. *
  • Use operator overloading to support all primitive types as well as objects. *

* For every expression with an anyOf, its negation has either an allOf or a * noneOf. The following two examples will illustrate as the second is the * negation of the first: *

* AnyOf Example: Employees with a non '613' area code phone number. *

     * ReadAllQuery query = new ReadAllQuery(Employee.class);
     * ExpressionBuilder employee = new ExpressionBuilder();
     * Expression exp = employee.anyOf("phoneNumbers").get("areaCode").notEqual("613");
     * 
*

* AllOf Example: Employees with all '613' area code phone numbers. *

     * ExpressionBuilder employee = new ExpressionBuilder();
     * ExpressionBuilder phones = new ExpressionBuilder();
     * Expression exp = employee.allOf("phoneNumbers", phones.get("areaCode").equal("613"));
     * SQL:
     * SELECT ... EMPLOYEE t0 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT ... PHONE t1 WHERE
     *                     (t0.EMP_ID = t1.EMP_ID) AND NOT (t1.AREACODE = '613'))
     * 
*

* allOf is the universal counterpart to the existential anyOf. To have the * condition evaluated for each instance it must be put inside of a subquery, * which can be expressed as not exists (any of attributeName some condition). * (All x such that y = !Exist x such that !y). *

Likewise the syntax employee.allOf("phoneNumbers").get("areaCode").equal("613") * is not supported for the

equal
must go inside a subQuery. *

* This method saves you from writing the sub query yourself. The above is * equivalent to the following expression: *

     * ExpressionBuilder employee = new ExpressionBuilder();
     * ExpressionBuilder phone = new ExpressionBuilder();
     * ReportQuery subQuery = new ReportQuery(Phone.class, phone);
     * subQuery.retreivePrimaryKeys();
     * subQuery.setSelectionCriteria(phone.equal(employee.anyOf("phoneNumbers").and(
     *         phone.get("areaCode").notEqual("613")));
     * Expression exp = employee.notExists(subQuery);
     * 
*

* Note if employee has no phone numbers allOf ~ noneOf. * @param criteria must have its own builder, as it will become the * separate selection criteria of a subQuery. * @return a notExists subQuery expression */ public Expression allOf(String attributeName, Expression criteria) { ReportQuery subQuery = new ReportQuery(); subQuery.setShouldRetrieveFirstPrimaryKey(true); Expression builder = criteria.getBuilder(); criteria = builder.equal(anyOf(attributeName)).and(criteria.not()); subQuery.setSelectionCriteria(criteria); return notExists(subQuery); } /** * PUBLIC: * Return an expression that is the boolean logical combination of both expressions. * This is equivalent to the SQL "AND" operator and the Java {@literal "&&"} operator. *

     *  Java: None
     *  SQL (Flashback): SELECT ... FROM EMPLOYEE AS OF TIMESTAMP (pastTime) t0 ...
     *  SQL (Generic): .. WHERE (t1.START {@literal <=} pastTime) AND ((t1.END IS NULL) OR t1.END {@literal >} pastTime)
     * 
*

* Set an as of clause at the expression level to still query for current objects * while expressing selection criteria like: *

    *
  • query objects as of one time that met some condition at another time. *
  • query objects that changed a certain way over a certain interval (querying for change). *
*

* Simultaneously querying on two versions of the same object (one past * one present) lets you express these advanced selection criteria. *

* Example: Querying on past attributes using parallel expressions. *

*
     *   // Finds all employees who lived in Ottawa as of a past time.
     *   ExpressionBuilder employee = new ExpressionBuilder();
     *   ExpressionBuilder pastEmployee = new ExpressionBuilder(Employee.class);
     *   pastEmployee.asOf(pastTime);
     *   Expression pastAddress = pastEmployee.get("address"); // by default address will also be as of past time.
     *   Expression selectionCriteria = pastAddress.get("city").equal("Ottawa").and(
     *       employee.equal(pastEmployee));
     * 
*

* The advantage of the parallel expression is that you can still read current * objects, the as of clause will affect only the where clause / selection criteria. *

* You may be tempted to rewrite the above as employee.get("address").asOf(pastTime). * That is allowed but see below for the finer points involved in this. *

* Example: Querying on object changes using parallel expressions. *

*
     *   // Finds all employees who recently received a raise.  Note that current
     *   // objects are returned, so can be cached normally.
     *   ExpressionBuilder employee = new ExpressionBuilder();
     *   Expression pastEmployee = new ExpressionBuilder(Employee.class);
     *   pastEmployee.asOf(yesterday);
     *   Expression parallelJoin = employee.equal(pastEmployee);
     *   Expression selectionCriteria = parallelJoin.and(
     *       employee.get("salary").greaterThan(pastEmployee.get("salary")));
     * 
*

* Example: Querying on object changes using custom query keys *

     *   // First define the custom query key and add it to your descriptor.
     *   ExpressionBuilder builder = new ExpressionBuilder(Employee.class);
     *   Expression joinCriteria = builder.getField("EMPLOYEE.EMP_ID").equal(builder.getParameter("EMPLOYEE.EMP_ID"));
     *   OneToOneQueryKey selfReferential = new OneToOneQueryKey();
     *   selfReferential.setName("this");
     *   selfReferential.setJoinCriteria(joinCriteria);
     *   selfReferential.setReferenceClass(Employee.class);
     *   getSession().getDescriptor(Employee.class).addQueryKey(selfReferential);
     *
     *   // Now build query as before.
     *   Expression employee = new ExpessionBuilder();
     *   Expression pastEmployee = employee.get("this").asOf(yesterday);
     *   Expression selectionCriteria = employee.get("salary").greaterThan(pastEmployee.get("salary"));
     * 
*

* Note in general that any parallel expression can be rewritten using a custom query key. * EclipseLink will even automatically interpret x.get("this") for you so you do * not need to define the above query key first. *

* Full Reference: *

* If an object is mapped to multiple tables, then each table will be as of * the same time. Two objects mapped to the same table can not have different * as of times. Conversely only expressions which have associated tables can have an as * of clause. *

* If an as of clause is not explicitly set an expression will use the clause * of its base expression, and so on recursively until one is found or an * ExpressionBuilder is reached. Some usage scenarios follow: *

    *
  • employee.asOf(pastTime).anyOf("projects"): projects as of past time. *
  • expressionBuilder.asOf(pastTime): entire expression as of past time. *
  • employee.asOf(pastTime).anyOf("projects").asOf(null): projects as of current time. *
  • employee.anyOf("projects").asOf(pastTime): projects only as of past time. *
*

* Watch out for x.asOf(oneTime).get("y").asOf(anotherTime). *

    *
  • emp.anyOf("phoneNumbers").asOf(yesterday) = emp.asOf(yesterday).anyOf("phoneNumbers") but: *
  • emp.get("address").asOf(yesterday) != emp.asOf(yesterday).get("address"). *
* Whether the join is also as of yesterday depends on which table the foreign * key field resides on. In an anyOf the foreign key is always on the right, but * in a get (1-1) it could be on either side.
