BasicNodeQuery

public class BasicQuery
extends Object
implements Query

'Basic' implementation of bridge Query. Wraps a 'BasicSearchQuery' from core. This implementation is actually ussuable with other implementations of bridge too, because it has the public constructor: BasicQuery(Cloud, BasicSearchQuery).

Field Detail

used

protected boolean used

Whether this Query was used already. If it is used, it may not be changed any more.

aggregating

protected boolean aggregating

Whether this Query is aggregating.

To Do:

this member is in BasicSearchQuery too (but private).

queryCheck

protected Authorization.QueryCheck queryCheck

The QueryCheck object associated with this Query, or null if no such object was determined yet.

insecureConstraint

protected Constraint insecureConstraint

If a the constraint was made 'secure', in insecureConstraint the original Constraint is stored. This object is null if either the queryCheck object is not yet determined, or the orignal query did not have constraints.

query

protected BasicSearchQuery query

The core query which is 'wrapped'

cloud

protected Cloud cloud

reference to the cloud.

implicitFields

protected List<BasicStepField> implicitFields

The implicitely added 'extra' fields. These are removed if the query becomes 'distinct'. So, you can e.g. not do element= on a distinct query result.

explicitFields

protected List<BasicStepField> explicitFields

The explicitely added 'extra' fields. Because you explicitely added those, they will not be removed if the query becomes 'distinct'.

This corresponds to (part of) the constraints in the WHERE-clause in SQL SELECT-syntax.

Specified by:

getConstraint in interface SearchQuery

getCleanConstraint

public Constraint getCleanConstraint()

Description copied from interface: Query

Gets the 'clean' constraint on this query. I.e. the constraint which were automaticly added because of security are stripped away, and it is garanteed that you get back what you put in. It is adviced that you use this in stead of SearchQuery#getConstraint, because that function is used by the Query handlers, which do need the security constraints. But otherwise you don't want to see those.

Specified by:

getCleanConstraint in interface Query

Returns:

Constraint

getMaxNumber

Specified by:

getOffset in interface SearchQuery

addNode

public void addNode(Step s,
                    int nodeNumber)

Specified by:

addNode in interface Query

Parameters:

s - query step

nodeNumber - node number

Since:

MMBase-1.7.1

addNode

public void addNode(Step s,
                    Node node)

Description copied from interface: Query

Adds a node to a step.

Specified by:

addNode in interface Query

Parameters:

s - step

node - node to add

isUsed

public boolean isUsed()

Description copied from interface: Query

Whether this query was used or not. If is was used, then you cannot modify it anymore (would kill caches, and references to 'original query' would get invalid)

Specified by:

Returns:

query already used or not

markUsed

public boolean markUsed()

Description copied from interface: Query

Mark this query 'used'. It has to be copied first, if you want to add things to it.

Specified by:

markUsed in interface Query

Specified by:

markUsed in interface SearchQuery

Returns:

if this query is was used before this method call

isSecure

boolean isSecure()

setSecurityConstraint

void setSecurityConstraint(Authorization.QueryCheck c)

Applies a security-constraint to this Query. Such a constraint can be removed easily (needed before cloning a query and so on).

See Also:

removeSecurityConstraint()

removeSecurityConstraint

void removeSecurityConstraint()

Remove a previously set security constraint (if set one)

See Also:

setSecurityConstraint(org.mmbase.security.Authorization.QueryCheck)

getCloud

public Cloud getCloud()

Description copied from interface: Query

Returns the Cloud for which this Query was defined.

Specified by:

getCloud in interface Query

Returns:

Cloud

getList

public NodeList getList()

Description copied from interface: Query

Executes the query and returns the resulting node list.

Specified by:

getList in interface Query

Returns:

resulting node list

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Description copied from interface: SearchQuery

Compares this query to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is a non-null SearchQuery object representing the same query.

Specified by:

equals in interface SearchQuery

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - The object to compare with.

Returns:

true if the objects are equal, false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in interface SearchQuery

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from interface: SearchQuery

Returns a string representation of this SearchQuery. The string representation has the form "SearchQuery(distinct:<distinct>, steps:<steps>, fields:<fields>, constraint:<constraint>, sortorders:<sortorders>, max:<max>, offset:<offset>)" where

• <distinct> is value returned by isDistinct()
• <steps> is the list returned by getSteps()
• <fields> is the list returned by getFields()
• <constraint> is the constraint returned by getConstraint()
• <sortorders> is the list returned by getSortOrders()
• <max> is value returned by getMaxNumber()
• <offset> is value returned by getOffset()

Specified by:

toString in interface SearchQuery

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A string representation of this SearchQuery.

getSql

public String getSql()

Getter for use in EL. Returns toSql().

toSql

public String toSql()

Description copied from interface: Query

Shows the query in a human-readable SQL form. This is probably not the query which will actually be sent to the database. This method is provided because 'toString' on a Query object is pretty complete, but pretty undigestable for mere mortals too. Implementions can also implement getSql(), which would make this available in e.g. EL too.

Specified by:

toSql in interface Query

Returns:

human-readable SQL
