Methods Summary
public oracle.toplink.essentials.expressions.ExpressiongenerateExpression(oracle.toplink.essentials.internal.parsing.GenerationContext context)
INTERNAL Generate the TopLink expression for this node

        Expression whereClause = getLeft().generateExpression(context);
        Expression startPosition = getStartPosition().generateExpression(context);
        Expression stringLength = getStringLength().generateExpression(context);
        whereClause = whereClause.substring(startPosition, stringLength);
        return whereClause;
private oracle.toplink.essentials.internal.parsing.NodegetStartPosition()
Return the start position object

        return startPosition;
private oracle.toplink.essentials.internal.parsing.NodegetStringLength()
Return the string length object

        return stringLength;
public oracle.toplink.essentials.internal.parsing.NodequalifyAttributeAccess(oracle.toplink.essentials.internal.parsing.ParseTreeContext context)
INTERNAL Check the child nodes for an unqualified field access and if so, replace them by a qualified field access.

       if (left != null) {
           left = left.qualifyAttributeAccess(context);
       }
       if (startPosition != null) {
           startPosition = startPosition.qualifyAttributeAccess(context);
       }
       if (stringLength != null) {
           stringLength = stringLength.qualifyAttributeAccess(context);
       }
       return this;
public voidsetStartPosition(oracle.toplink.essentials.internal.parsing.Node newStartPosition)
Insert the method's description here. Creation date: (1/19/01 3:41:55 PM)

param
newStartPosition java.lang.Integer

        startPosition = newStartPosition;
public voidsetStringLength(oracle.toplink.essentials.internal.parsing.Node newStringLength)
Insert the method's description here. Creation date: (1/19/01 3:42:26 PM)

param
newStringLength java.lang.Integer

        stringLength = newStringLength;
public voidvalidate(oracle.toplink.essentials.internal.parsing.ParseTreeContext context)
INTERNAL Validate node and calculate its type.

        TypeHelper typeHelper = context.getTypeHelper();
        if (left != null) {
            left.validate(context);
            left.validateParameter(context, typeHelper.getStringType());
        }
        if (startPosition != null) {
            startPosition.validate(context);
