Hi guys,
After some further analysis of the new query expressions API I figured
out how to get the more natural "A and B" rather than "and(A,B)" syntax
going. It basically looks like this:
ge( person.yearOfBirth(), 1900 ).
and( eq( person.placeOfBirth().get().name(), "Penang" ) )
Internally this is converted to and(A,B). If there are several "and" in
a row they are compacted into one "and", simlarly with "or".
The "and()" and "or()" methods are in a common baseclass for all
expression operators, so is always available. I hope this will make it
easier to read queries.
The precedence of operators is given reasonably naturally by how they
are used. So this:
A.and(B).or(C)
=
or(and(A,B),C)
while this:
A.and(B.or(C))
=
and(A,or(B,C))
This syntactic sugar does not have to be understood by EntityFinders.
