Interface EmptyComplexTypeConditionable<E>

Type Parameters:

E - the query element type, used for method chaining. e.g. QueryNode, DirectLink, ReachableSetStepFromPart, IndirectLinkStepLinkPart, etc...

All Superinterfaces:

ComplexTypeConditionable<E>, QualifierConditionable<ComplexTypeConditionable<E>>

public interface EmptyComplexTypeConditionable<E>
extends ComplexTypeConditionable<E>

Indicates that the extending element have a complex type condition.

Note: This interface extends ComplexTypeConditionable to aid automatic query builders, so the following idiom can be used:

 QueryNode queryNode = ...
 queryNode.ofType("x");
 EmptyComplexTypeConditionable condition1 = queryNode.withComplexTypeCondition();
 condition1.withType("sub_x");
 condition1.restrictToQualifiers("qualifier1", "qualifier2");
 condition1.withQualifierMatchingStrategy(QualifierMatchingStrategy.NEGATE_QUALIFIER_CONDITION);
 EmptyComplexTypeConditionable condition2 = queryNode.withComplexTypeCondition();
 condition2.withoutType("sub_sub_x");
 condition2.restrictToQualifiers("qualifier3", "qualifier4");

However, for explicit condition creation, it's usually easier (and more readable) to use the chained methods approach:

 queryNode.ofType("x").
      withComplexTypeCondition().withType("sub_x").restrictToQualifiers("qualifier1", "qualifier2").
      withQualifierMatchingStrategy(QualifierMatchingStrategy.NEGATE_QUALIFIER_CONDITION).
      toQueryElement().
      withComplexTypeCondition().withoutType("sub_sub_x").restrictToQualifiers("qualifier3", "qualifier4");

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
ComplexTypeConditionable<E>	strictlyWithoutType(String type) Sets the exact type of the element to be ignored and returns the element itself.
ComplexTypeConditionable<E>	strictlyWithType(String type) Sets the exact type of this element and returns the element itself.
ComplexTypeConditionable<E>	withoutType(String type) Sets types of elements to be ignored by this element.
ComplexTypeConditionable<E>	withType(String type) Sets additional types of elements to be matched by this element.

Method Detail

withType

ComplexTypeConditionable<E> withType(String type)

Sets additional types of elements to be matched by this element. By default, elements of subtypes are also matched.

Parameters:

type - class type for the current complex type condition

Returns:

this object. The returned object can be used for method chaining.

EmptyComplexTypeConditionable

withoutType

ComplexTypeConditionable<E> withoutType(String type)

Sets types of elements to be ignored by this element. By default, elements of subtypes are also ignored. Note: also applicable to the main type of the element TypeConditionable.type(), in order to ignore it in the result and use only complex types to define the relevant types for the current element

Parameters:

type - class type for the current complex type condition. The provided type will be ignore in the results for this element.

Returns:

this object. The returned object can be used for method chaining.

EmptyComplexTypeConditionable

strictlyWithType

ComplexTypeConditionable<E> strictlyWithType(String type)

Sets the exact type of this element and returns the element itself.

Parameters:

type - specify the exact class type for the condition

Returns:

this object. The returned object can be used for method chaining.

See Also:

EmptyComplexTypeConditionable

strictlyWithoutType

ComplexTypeConditionable<E> strictlyWithoutType(String type)

Sets the exact type of the element to be ignored and returns the element itself.

Parameters:

type - specify the exact class type to be ignored for the condition

Returns:

this object. The returned object can be used for method chaining.
