getQuerySpaces

QuerySpaces getQuerySpaces()

Get the QuerySpaces object that is our owner.

Returns:

The QuerySpaces containing this QuerySpace

getPropertyMapping

PropertyMapping getPropertyMapping()

Get the PropertyMapping for this QuerySpace.

Returns:

The PropertyMapping

String[] toAliasedColumns(String alias,
                          String propertyName)

Get the aliased column names for the specified property in the query space..

Parameters:

alias - - the table alias

propertyName - - the property name

Returns:

the aliased column names for the specified property

getDisposition

QuerySpace.Disposition getDisposition()

What type of QuerySpace (more-specific) is this?

Returns:

The enum value representing the more-specific type of QuerySpace

getJoins

Iterable<Join> getJoins()

Obtain all joins which originate from this QuerySpace, in other words, all the joins which this QuerySpace is the left-hand-side of. <p/> For all the joins returned here, Join.getLeftHandSide() should point back to this QuerySpace such that <code> space.getJoins().forEach{ join → join.getLeftHandSide() == space } </code> is true for all.

Returns:

The joins which originate from this query space.
