getType

public Class getType()

Description copied from interface: Value

Return the expected type for this value, or Object if the type is unknown.

setImplicitType

public void setImplicitType(Class type)

Description copied from interface: Value

Set the implicit type of the value, based on how it is used in the filter. This method is only called on values who return Object from Value.getType().

getValue

public Object getValue(Object[] params)

Description copied from interface: Constant

Return the value for this constant given the specified parameters.

                  ExpState state,
                  Val other,
                  ExpState otherState)

Description copied from interface: Val

Calculate and cache the SQL for this value. This method is called before length or any append methods.

Specified by:

calculateValue in interface Val

Overrides:

other - the value being compared to, or null if not a comparison

appendTo

public void appendTo(Select sel,
            ExpContext ctx,
            ExpState state,
            SQLBuffer sql,
            int index)
