Class MapExpression

java.lang.Object

org.datanucleus.store.rdbms.sql.expression.SQLExpression

org.datanucleus.store.rdbms.sql.expression.MapExpression

Direct Known Subclasses:

MapLiteral

public class MapExpression
extends SQLExpression

An expression that represents some Map field in a query candidate class, or a Map field in an object linked from the candidate class by navigation.

When navigated through using containsKey(expr) the keys of the Map are relationally joined onto the query statement. When navigated through using containsValue(expr) the values of the Map are relationally joined onto the query statement. These 2 methods are required for JDO 2.0, whilst the isEmpty() and contains() are JDO 1.0.1. containsEntry() is an extension.
