java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if value is not a String, ObjEntity, DbEntity, Procedure, DataMap, Class or null.

toString

createSQLAction

public abstract SQLAction createSQLAction(SQLActionVisitor visitor)

Description copied from interface: Query

A callback method invoked by Cayenne during the final execution phase of the query run. A concrete query implementation is given a chance to decide how it should be handled. Implementors can pick an appropriate method of the SQLActionVisitor to handle itself, create a custom SQLAction of its own, or substitute itself with another query that should be used for SQLAction construction.

Specified by:

createSQLAction in interface Query

Since:

1.2

route

public void route(QueryRouter router,
                  EntityResolver resolver,
                  Query substitutedQuery)

Implements default routing mechanism relying on the EntityResolver to find DataMap based on the query root. This mechanism should be sufficient for most queries that "know" their root.

Specified by:

route in interface Query

Since:

1.2
