Interface MapJoin<Z,K,V>

Type Parameters:

Z - the source type of the join

K - the type of the target Map key

V - the type of the target Map value

All Superinterfaces:

Expression<V>, FetchParent<Z,V>, From<Z,V>, Join<Z,V>, Path<V>, PluralJoin<Z,Map<K,V>,V>, Selection<V>, TupleElement<V>

public interface MapJoin<Z,K,V>
extends PluralJoin<Z,Map<K,V>,V>

The MapJoin interface is the type of the result of joining to a collection over an association or element collection that has been specified as a java.util.Map.

Since:

2.0

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Expression<Map.Entry<K,V>>	entry() Create an expression that corresponds to the map entry.
MapAttribute<? super Z,K,V>	getModel() Return the metamodel representation for the map attribute.
Path<K>	key() Create a path expression that corresponds to the map key.
MapJoin<Z,K,V>	on(Expression<Boolean> restriction) Modify the join to restrict the result according to the specified ON condition and return the join object.
MapJoin<Z,K,V>	on(Predicate... restrictions) Modify the join to restrict the result according to the specified ON condition and return the join object.
Path<V>	value() Create a path expression that corresponds to the map value.

Method Detail

on

MapJoin<Z,K,V> on(Expression<Boolean> restriction)

Modify the join to restrict the result according to the specified ON condition and return the join object. Replaces the previous ON condition, if any.

Specified by:

on in interface Join<Z,V>

Parameters:

restriction - a simple or compound boolean expression

Returns:

the modified join object

Since:

2.1

on

MapJoin<Z,K,V> on(Predicate... restrictions)

Modify the join to restrict the result according to the specified ON condition and return the join object. Replaces the previous ON condition, if any.

Specified by:

on in interface Join<Z,V>

Parameters:

restrictions - zero or more restriction predicates

Returns:

the modified join object

Since:

2.1

getModel

MapAttribute<? super Z,K,V> getModel()

Return the metamodel representation for the map attribute.

Specified by:

getModel in interface Path<V>

Specified by:

getModel in interface PluralJoin<Z,Map<K,V>,V>

Returns:

metamodel type representing the Map that is the target of the join

key

Path<K> key()

Create a path expression that corresponds to the map key.

Returns:

path corresponding to map key

value

Path<V> value()

Create a path expression that corresponds to the map value. This method is for stylistic use only: it just returns this.

Returns:

path corresponding to the map value

entry

Expression<Map.Entry<K,V>> entry()

Create an expression that corresponds to the map entry.

Returns:

expression corresponding to the map entry
