public interface QueryTreeBuilder

Specifies an interface for a query tree builder.

Method Summary

boolean	canHandle(String language) Returns true if this query tree builder can handle a statement in language.
QueryRootNode	createQueryTree(String statement, NameResolver resolver, QueryNodeFactory factory) Creates a QueryNode tree from a statement using the passed query node factory.
String[]	getSupportedLanguages() Returns the set of query languages supported by this builder.
String	toString(QueryRootNode root, NameResolver resolver) Creates a String representation of the query node tree in the syntax this QueryTreeBuilder can handle.

Method Detail

createQueryTree

QueryRootNode createQueryTree(String statement,
                              NameResolver resolver,
                              QueryNodeFactory factory)
                              throws InvalidQueryException

Creates a QueryNode tree from a statement using the passed query node factory.

Parameters:

statement - the statement.

resolver - the name resolver to use.

factory - the query node factory to use.

Returns:

the QueryNode tree for the statement.

Throws:

InvalidQueryException - if the statement is malformed.

canHandle

boolean canHandle(String language)

Returns true if this query tree builder can handle a statement in language.

Parameters:

language - the language of a query statement to build a query tree.

Returns:

true if this builder can handle language; false otherwise.

getSupportedLanguages

String[] getSupportedLanguages()

Returns the set of query languages supported by this builder.

Returns:

String array containing the names of the supported languages.

toString

String toString(QueryRootNode root,
                NameResolver resolver)
                throws InvalidQueryException

Creates a String representation of the query node tree in the syntax this QueryTreeBuilder can handle.

Parameters:

root - the root of the query node tree.

resolver - to resolve Names.

Returns:

a String representation of the query node tree.

Throws:

InvalidQueryException - if the query node tree cannot be converted into a String representation due to restrictions in this syntax.
