INTERNAL: Represents a predicate in the rdbms implementation.

Method Summary

boolean	buildQuery(QueryBuilder builder, java.util.List expressions, java.util.List arguments) INTERNAL: Registers JDOExpressionsIF for this predicate with the query builder.

Method Detail

isRecursive

boolean isRecursive()

INTERNAL:

prescan

void prescan(QueryBuilder builder,
             java.util.List arguments)

INTERNAL: This method will be called before building the query. It is used mainly for analyzing the predicate.

buildQuery

boolean buildQuery(QueryBuilder builder,
                   java.util.List expressions,
                   java.util.List arguments)
                   throws InvalidQueryException

INTERNAL: Registers JDOExpressionsIF for this predicate with the query builder.

Returns:

true if predicate was mapped to JDO expression; false if the predicate could not be mapped to an JDO expression.

Throws:

InvalidQueryException
