public class BasicNodeQuery

extends BasicQuery

implements NodeQuery

'Basic' implementation of bridge NodeQuery. Wraps a Query with all and only fields of one Step. If there is only one step, this can wrap NodeSearchQuery of core. Often, queries with more steps are sensible nodequeries, because sorting (e.g. posrel.pos) or filtering can be done on those steps (e.g. publishtimes). Nodes of this type can be used as an argument to function which do return 'real' nodes (so not clusternodes).

Since:

MMBase-1.7

NodeSearchQuery

To Do:

perhaps it would be nice to have the possibllity to query also two complete steps (also one of the neigbouring 'relation' steps). this would give nice efficient implementations of things like mm:relatednode (of mm:listrelations), This kind of functionality should perhaps be present in NodeSearchQuery itself because you can then use it 'under' the bridge too.

Method Summary

protected void	addFields(java.util.Collection c) Adds all fields of the gives collection, unless it is a field of the 'step' itself
Query	cloneWithoutFields() Clones this object, only without the fields
StepField	createStepField(java.lang.String fieldName) Creates the step field for the given name.
NodeManager	getNodeManager() Returns the node-manager.
Step	getNodeStep() Returns the step for which the fields are added (or null)
StepField	getStepField(Field field) Since in a NodeQuery one of the steps is 'exceptional', also this function makes sense now.
void	removeFields() Removes all fields from the Query object.
Query	setDistinct(boolean distinct) Specifies wether the query result must contain only 'distinct' results.
Step	setNodeStep(Step step) Removes all fields and add all fields of the given step.

Method Detail

getNodeManager

public NodeManager getNodeManager()

Description copied from interface: NodeQuery

Returns the node-manager. Or 'null' if this is not yet determined.

Specified by:

getNodeManager in interface NodeQuery

getNodeStep

public Step getNodeStep()

Description copied from interface: NodeQuery

Returns the step for which the fields are added (or null)

Specified by:

getNodeStep in interface NodeQuery

createStepField

public StepField createStepField(java.lang.String fieldName)

Description copied from interface: Query

Creates the step field for the given name. For a NodeQuery the arguments is simply the name of the field. For a 'normal' query, it should be prefixed by the (automatic) alias of the Step.

Specified by:

createStepField in interface Query

Overrides:

createStepField in class BasicQuery

getStepField

public StepField getStepField(Field field)

Description copied from interface: NodeQuery

Since in a NodeQuery one of the steps is 'exceptional', also this function makes sense now.

Specified by:

getStepField in interface NodeQuery

Returns:

null if field is not of 'the' nodemanager.

removeFields

public void removeFields()

Description copied from interface: Query

Removes all fields from the Query object.

Specified by:

removeFields in interface Query

Overrides:

removeFields in class BasicQuery

addFields

protected void addFields(java.util.Collection c)

Adds all fields of the gives collection, unless it is a field of the 'step' itself

setDistinct

public Query setDistinct(boolean distinct)

Description copied from interface: Query

Specifies wether the query result must contain only 'distinct' results.

Specified by:

setDistinct in interface Query

Overrides:

setDistinct in class BasicQuery

setNodeStep

public Step setNodeStep(Step step)

Description copied from interface: NodeQuery

Removes all fields and add all fields of the given step. This also can have an effect on the result of getNodeManager().

Specified by:

setNodeStep in interface NodeQuery

Returns:

the previously associated step (if there was one, otherwise null).

cloneWithoutFields

public Query cloneWithoutFields()

Description copied from interface: Query

Clones this object, only without the fields

Specified by:

cloneWithoutFields in interface Query

Overrides:

cloneWithoutFields in class BasicQuery
