Class Lexer


  • public class Lexer
    extends Object
    Lexer for a Query. Allows a class to work its way through the parsed string, obtaining relevant components with each call, or peeking ahead before deciding what component to parse next. Would work with JDOQL or JPQL, the only difference being the input of parameter prefixes. With JDOQL all parameters are prefixed ":", whereas in JPQL you can have numbered parameters "?" and named parameters ":".
