Method Detail

createQueryTree

QueryRootNode createQueryTree(String statement,
                            NameResolver resolver,
                            QueryNodeFactory factory)
                              throws javax.jcr.query.InvalidQueryException

Creates a QueryNode tree from a statement using the passed query node factory.

Parameters:

statement - the statement.

resolver - the name resolver to use.

factory - the query node factory to use.

Returns:

the QueryNode tree for the statement.

Throws:

javax.jcr.query.InvalidQueryException - if the statement is malformed.

canHandle

boolean canHandle(String language)

Returns true if this query tree builder can handle a statement in language.

Parameters:

language - the language of a query statement to build a query tree.

Returns:

true if this builder can handle language; false otherwise.

getSupportedLanguages

String[] getSupportedLanguages()

Returns the set of query languages supported by this builder.

Returns:

String array containing the names of the supported languages.

toString

String toString(QueryRootNode root,
              NameResolver resolver)
                throws javax.jcr.query.InvalidQueryException

Creates a String representation of the query node tree in the syntax this QueryTreeBuilder can handle.

Parameters:

root - the root of the query node tree.

resolver - to resolve Names.

Returns:

a String representation of the query node tree.

Throws:

javax.jcr.query.InvalidQueryException - if the query node tree cannot be converted into a String representation due to restrictions in this syntax.
