Constructor Detail

NAryQueryNode

public NAryQueryNode(QueryNode parent)

Creates a new NAryQueryNode with a reference to a parent QueryNode.

Parameters:

parent - the parent node.

NAryQueryNode

public NAryQueryNode(QueryNode parent,
                     QueryNode[] operands)

Creates a new NAryQueryNode with a reference to a parent QueryNode and initial operands.

Parameters:

parent - the parent node.

operands - child nodes of this NAryQueryNode.

Method Detail

addOperand

public void addOperand(QueryNode operand)

Adds a new operand (child node) to this query node.

Parameters:

operand - the child QueryNode to add.

removeOperand

public boolean removeOperand(QueryNode operand)

Removes an operand (child node) from this query node.

Parameters:

operand - the child to remove.

Returns:

true if the operand was in the list of child nodes and has been removed; false if this node does not contain operand as a child node.

getOperands

public QueryNode[] getOperands()

Returns an array of currently set QueryNode operands of this QueryNode. Returns an empty array if no operands are set.

Returns:

currently set QueryNode operands.

getNumOperands

public int getNumOperands()

Returns the number of operands.

Returns:

the number of operands.

acceptOperands

public Object[] acceptOperands(QueryNodeVisitor visitor,
                               Object data)

Helper class to accept a visitor for all operands of this NAryQueryNode.

Parameters:

visitor - the visitor to call back.

data - arbitrary data for the visitor.

Returns:

the return values of the visitor.visit() calls.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Description copied from class: QueryNode

Returns true if obj is the same type of QueryNode as this node and is equal to this node.

Specified by:

equals in class QueryNode

Parameters:

obj - the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:

true if obj is equal to this; false otherwise.
