    • getValueType

      public Type getValueType()
      Get the type of the property.

    • setValueType

      public void setValueType(Type valueType)
      Set the type of the property.
      Parameters:
      valueType - The type

    • getOperator

      public Operator getOperator()
      Get the operator to use in the filter.

    • setOperator

      public void setOperator(Operator operator)
      Set the operator to use in the filter.

    • setUnit

      public void setUnit(Unit unit)
      Sets the unit the values for the property are stored in the database. When a unit is set, it is possible to have filter values with units. The filter values are automatically converted to this unit before the filter is applied. For example, if we set the unit to 'g', someone may filter on '0.5kg', which is converted to 500 in the query.
      Parameters:
      unit - The unit, or null to remove the unit from the filter
      Since:
      2.9

    • getValue

      public String getValue()
      Get the value to use in the filter.
      Returns:
      The value as a string

    • setValue

      public void setValue(String value)
      Set the value to use in the filter.
      Parameters:
      value - The value as a string

    • getValueAsObject

      public <T> T getValueAsObject()
      Get the value as an object of the correct type. If the filter property is numeric and has a unit, the value is converted to the correct unit automatically. For example, if the value is '5kg' and the unit is 'g' this method returns 5000.

      Note! The returned value is cast to the class supported by the getValueType(). Beware of this when the filter has an integer type and a unit with low precision. For example, if the value is '125min' and the unit is 'hour' this method returns the integer 2. To avoid this use getValueAsObject(Unit, boolean) with asDouble=true instead.

      Returns:
      The value as an object
      Throws:
      InvalidDataException - If the string value can't be parsed

    • getValueAsObject

      public <T> T getValueAsObject(Unit unit, boolean asDouble)
      Get the value as an object of the proper type converted to the specified unit. For example, if the unit is 'g' and the value is '5kg' this method returns 5000.

      If the asDouble parameter is true, the value is returned as a double, otherwise it is cast to the proper class as specified by the getValueType().

      Note! The above only applies for numerical properties that has a unit. If not, the value is simply parsed with Type.parseString(String).

      Parameters:
      unit - A unit, or null to use the default unit
      asDouble - TRUE to return the value as a double, FALSE to let the getValueType() decide
      Returns:
      The value as an object
      Since:
      2.9

      private <T> T getValueAsObject(String value, Unit unit, boolean asDouble)

    • getValuesAsObjects

      public <T> List<T> getValuesAsObjects()
      Splits the value string at each "|" and creates a list with objects from the substrings that were found.
      Returns:
      A list with objects, or null if splitting string of values returns null.
      Throws:
      InvalidDataException - If any of the string values can't be parsed.
      Since:
      2.5

    • getValuesAsObjects

      public <T> List<T> getValuesAsObjects(Unit unit, boolean asDouble)
      Same as getValueAsObject(Unit, boolean) but the filter string is first split at each "|". Each individual string may or may not specify a unit. If a unit is specified for some parts but not for all, the nearest following unit is used. For example, the string '300g|5|10kg' is the same as '300g|5kg|10kg'.'
      Parameters:
      unit - A unit, or null to use the default unit
      asDouble - TRUE to return the value as a double, FALSE to let the getValueType() decide
      Returns:
      A list with the values
      Since:

    • convertValueToUnit

      private Double convertValueToUnit(Session session, String value, String unitSymbol, Unit convertTo)
      Converts a string to a numeric value with the correct unit.
      Parameters:
      session - Hibernate session used to lookup units
      value - The string value which should be parsable with Double.parseDouble(String)
      unitSymbol - The unit of the string value
      convertTo - The unit to convert the value to
      Returns:
      The converted value

    • getRestriction

      public Restriction getRestriction(DbControl dc, EntityQuery query)
      Create a restriction from the filter. There are a few special cases:

      If the property starts with a $ it is interpreted as a alias.property value, ignoring the root alias of the query. The alias is removed from the property before proceeding.

      If the property starts with a # or ## it is a filter on annotations. The rest of the property is the ID of the annotation type, and we use a AnnotationSimpleRestriction object for the restriction. If there is only one # in the prefix only direct annotations are searched, if there are two ##, inherited annotations are also searched.

      If the property starts with a £, the rest of the property is the path that joins the ReporterData.getReporterListScores() collection. The filter value is the ID of the reporter list.

      If the property starts with a @ the property is a collection of values and we always use an IN restriction, ignoring the specified operator.

      If the property starts with & it is a collection of entities. The property must end with a property name from the entity in the collection within paranthesis. Eg. &experiments(name). The filter is applied as a subquery.

      If the property starts with ! it is another special filter:

      • Since BASE 2.15: !sharedTo.name, which is used to filter shareable items by the name of users/groups/projects it has been shared to. The 'name' part can be replaced with any other property that is common for users, groups and projects (eg. description or id).
      • Since BASE 3.18: !x., which is intended to be handled by extensions. It is ignored by the BASE core code. The rest of the property should be a unique identifier for the extension that is handling the filter.

      The property may also start with $@.

      Returns:
      The restriction
