Method Detail

parse

public static QueryRootNode parse(String statement,
                                  String language,
                                  NamespaceResolver resolver)
                           throws InvalidQueryException

Parses a query statement according to a query language into a query tree.

language must be one of: Query.SQL, Query.XPATH.

Parameters:

statement - the query statement.

language - the language of the query statement.

Returns:

the root node of the generated query tree.

Throws:

InvalidQueryException - if an error occurs while parsing the statement.

toString

public static String toString(QueryRootNode root,
                              String language,
                              NamespaceResolver resolver)
                       throws InvalidQueryException

Creates a String representation of the QueryNode tree argument root. The argument language specifies the syntax. See also: QueryManager.getSupportedQueryLanguages().

Parameters:

root - the query node tree.

language - one of the languages returned by: QueryManager.getSupportedQueryLanguages().

resolver - to resolve QNames.

Returns:

a String representation of the query node tree.

Throws:

InvalidQueryException - if the query node tree cannot be converted into a String representation of the given language. This might be due to syntax restrictions of the given language. This exception is also thrown if language is not one of the supported query languages returned by the QueryManager.
