- org.apache.jackrabbit.spi.commons.query.QueryNode

Direct Known Subclasses:

ExactQueryNode, NAryQueryNode, OrderQueryNode, PropertyFunctionQueryNode, QueryRootNode, TextsearchQueryNode
```
public abstract class QueryNode
extends Object
```
Implements an abstract base class for nodes of a query tree that represents a query. The query tree is independent from the query syntax which is used to search the repository.

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`abstract Object`	`accept(QueryNodeVisitor visitor, Object data)` Accepts a `QueryNodeVisitor` and calls the appropriate `visit` method on the visitor depending on the concrete implementation of this `QueryNode`.
`String`	`dump()` Dumps this QueryNode and its child nodes to a String.
`abstract boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Returns `true` if `obj` is the same type of `QueryNode` as `this` node and is equal to `this` node.
`QueryNode`	`getParent()` Returns the parent `QueryNode` or `null` if this is the root node of a query tree.
`abstract int`	`getType()` Returns the type of this query node.
`abstract boolean`	`needsSystemTree()` Returns `true` if this query node needs items under /jcr:system to be queried.
