Interface ListJoin<Z,E>

Type Parameters:

Z - the source type of the join

E - the element type of the target List

All Superinterfaces:

Expression<E>, FetchParent<Z,E>, From<Z,E>, Join<Z,E>, Path<E>, PluralJoin<Z,List<E>,E>, Selection<E>, TupleElement<E>

public interface ListJoin<Z,E>
extends PluralJoin<Z,List<E>,E>

The ListJoin interface is the type of the result of joining to a collection over an association or element collection that has been specified as a java.util.List.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
ListAttribute<? super Z,E>	getModel() Return the metamodel representation for the list attribute.
Expression<Integer>	index() Create an expression that corresponds to the index of the object in the referenced association or element collection.
ListJoin<Z,E>	on(Expression<Boolean> restriction) Modify the join to restrict the result according to the specified ON condition.
ListJoin<Z,E>	on(Predicate... restrictions) Modify the join to restrict the result according to the specified ON condition.

Method Detail

on

ListJoin<Z,E> on(Expression<Boolean> restriction)

Modify the join to restrict the result according to the specified ON condition. Replaces the previous ON condition, if any. Return the join object

Specified by:

on in interface Join<Z,E>

Parameters:

restriction - a simple or compound boolean expression

Returns:

the modified join object

on

ListJoin<Z,E> on(Predicate... restrictions)

Modify the join to restrict the result according to the specified ON condition. Replaces the previous ON condition, if any. Return the join object

Specified by:

on in interface Join<Z,E>

Parameters:

restrictions - zero or more restriction predicates

Returns:

the modified join object

getModel

ListAttribute<? super Z,E> getModel()

Return the metamodel representation for the list attribute.

Specified by:

getModel in interface Path<E>

Specified by:

getModel in interface PluralJoin<Z,List<E>,E>

Returns:

metamodel type representing the List that is the target of the join

index

Expression<Integer> index()

Create an expression that corresponds to the index of the object in the referenced association or element collection. This method must only be invoked upon an object that represents an association or element collection for which an order column has been defined.

Returns:

expression denoting the index
