Can you please refine above statemenrt ? Pr more specifically, what do
you mean when saying 'are not present' ?

Werner -
Thanx for the response.
By "not present", I mean that the only way the StringIndexOutOfBounds
exception can surface is if in the parsed OQL tree there is a ParseNode
of type ORDER BY with no children. Here is the code I am looking at in
ParseTreeWalker:
private String getOrderClause(ParseTreeNode orderClause) {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (Enumeration e = orderClause.children(); e.hasMoreElements(); )
{
sb.append(", ");
ParseTreeNode curChild = (ParseTreeNode) e.nextElement();
int tokenType = curChild.getToken().getTokenType();
switch ( tokenType ) {
case KEYWORD_ASC:
sb.append( getSQLExpr( curChild.getChild(0) ) ).append( " ASC
" );
break;
case KEYWORD_DESC:
sb.append( getSQLExpr( curChild.getChild(0) ) ).append( "
DESC " );
break;
case DOT: case IDENTIFIER:
sb.append( getSQLExpr( curChild ) ).append( " " );
break;
}
}
//remove the additional comma space at the beginning
sb.deleteCharAt(0).deleteCharAt(0);
return sb.toString();
}
The StringIndexOOB exception is occurring at the line
"sb.deleteCharAt(..." because, obviously, the StringBuffer has had
nothing appended to it. The only way for sb to be empty is if
orderClause.children() has no elements in it - there were no child
nodes. The fact that I get a StringIndexOOB exception is not really the
root cause, just the proximal effect of the OQL parse tree somehow being
in a bad state. Am I missing something in my thinking?
