Class QueryOrderingProperty

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    VariableOrderProperty

    public class QueryOrderingProperty
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.io.Serializable

    A QueryOrderingProperty specifies a condition by which the results of a query should be sorted. It can either specify a sorting by a property of the entities to be selected or a sorting by a property of a related entity. For example in a TaskQuery, the entity to be selected is Task while a related entity could be a VariableInstance.

    It is made up of the following:

    relation
    A symbolic name that identifies a related entity. null if an ordering over a property of the entity to be selected is expressed.
    queryProperty
    The property to be sorted on. An instance of QueryProperty.
    direction
    The ordering direction, refer to Direction
    relationConditions
    A list of constraints that describe the nature of the relation to another entity (or in SQL terms, the joining conditions). Is null if relation is null. Contains instances of QueryEntityRelationCondition.
