Uses of Selection in jakarta.persistence.criteria

Subinterfaces of Selection in jakarta.persistence.criteria

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
interface	BooleanExpression	Type for boolean query expressions.
interface	BooleanPath	Represents a simple or compound attribute path from a bound type or collection, and is a "primitive" expression of a boolean type.
interface	CollectionJoin<Z,E>	The CollectionJoin interface is the type of the result of joining to a collection over an association or element collection that has been specified as a Collection.
interface	ComparableExpression<C extends Comparable<? super C>>	Type for comparable query expressions.

static interface	CriteriaBuilder.Coalesce<T>	Interface used to build coalesce expressions.
static interface	CriteriaBuilder.In<T>	Interface used to build in predicates.
static interface	CriteriaBuilder.SimpleCase<C,R>	Interface used to build simple case expressions.
interface	Expression<T>	Type for query expressions.
interface	From<Z,X>	Represents a bound type, usually an entity that appears in the from clause, but may also be an embeddable belonging to an entity in the from clause.
interface	Join<Z,X>	A join to an entity, embeddable, or basic type.
interface	ListJoin<Z,E>	The ListJoin interface is the type of the result of joining to a collection over an association or element collection that has been specified as a List.

interface	NumericExpression<N extends Number & Comparable<N>>	Type for number query expressions.
interface	ParameterExpression<T>	Type of criteria query parameter expressions.
interface	Path<X>	Represents a simple or compound attribute path from a bound type or collection, and is a "primitive" expression.
interface	PluralExpression<C,E>	Type for collection query expressions.
interface	PluralJoin<Z,C,E>	The PluralJoin interface defines functionality that is common to joins to all collection types.
interface	Predicate	The type of a simple or compound predicate: a conjunction or disjunction of restrictions.
interface	Root<X>	A root type in the from clause.
interface	SetJoin<Z,E>	The SetJoin interface is the type of the result of joining to a collection over an association or element collection that has been specified as a Set.
interface	Subquery<T>	The Subquery interface defines functionality that is specific to subqueries.
interface	TemporalExpression<T extends Temporal & Comparable<? super T>>	Type for temporal query expressions.
interface	TextExpression	Type for string query expressions.

Methods in jakarta.persistence.criteria that return Selection

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Selection<X>	Selection.alias(String name)	Assigns an alias to the selection item.
Selection<T>	AbstractQuery.getSelection()	Return the selection of the query, or null if no selection has been set.

Methods in jakarta.persistence.criteria that return types with arguments of type Selection

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
List<Selection<?>>	Selection.getCompoundSelectionItems()	Return the selection items composing a compound selection.

Methods in jakarta.persistence.criteria with parameters of type Selection

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
CompoundSelection<Object[]>	CriteriaBuilder.array(Selection<?>... selections)	Create an array-valued selection item.
<Y> CompoundSelection<Y>	CriteriaBuilder.construct(Class<Y> resultClass, Selection<?>... selections)	Create a selection item corresponding to a constructor.
CriteriaQuery<T>	CriteriaQuery.multiselect(Selection<?>... selections)	Deprecated. Since this method is not typesafe, the use of CriteriaBuilder.array(Selection...) or CriteriaBuilder.tuple(Selection...) with CriteriaQuery.select(Selection) is strongly preferred.
CriteriaQuery<T>	CriteriaQuery.select(Selection<? extends T> selection)	Specify the item that is to be returned in the query result.
CompoundSelection<Tuple>	CriteriaBuilder.tuple(Selection<?>... selections)	Create a tuple-valued selection item.

Method parameters in jakarta.persistence.criteria with type arguments of type Selection

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
CompoundSelection<Object[]>	CriteriaBuilder.array(List<Selection<?>> selections)	Create an array-valued selection item.
CriteriaQuery<T>	CriteriaQuery.multiselect(List<Selection<?>> selectionList)	Deprecated. Since this method is not typesafe, the use of CriteriaBuilder.array(Selection...) or CriteriaBuilder.tuple(Selection...) with CriteriaQuery.select(Selection) is strongly preferred.
CompoundSelection<Tuple>	CriteriaBuilder.tuple(List<Selection<?>> selections)	Create a tuple-valued selection item.
