    • property

      public static Expression property(String alias, String property) throws InvalidDataException
      Create an expression representing a property of an object or joined alias. Property names are usually named after a getter method minus the "get" part. Ie. a getName() method corresponds to a "name" property. If no alias is given the property name is resolved against the root entity of the query, otherwise it is resolved against the joined entity with the given alias. 
      // Sorting user by the "name" property
ItemQuery<User> query = User.getQuery();
query.order(Orders.asc(Hql.property("name")));

// Generated HQL
SELECT usr
FROM UserData usr
ORDER BY usr.name ASC

// Loading users members of the Administrators role
DbControl dc = ...
int adminId = SystemItems.get(Role.ADMINISTRATOR); // Assume adminId = 1
Role admin = Role.getById(dc, adminId);
ItemQuery<User> query = User.getQuery();
query.join(Hql.innerJoin("roles", "rle"));
query.restrict(
  Restrictions.eq(
    Hql.alias("rle"),
    Hql.entity(admin)
  )
);

// Generated HQL
SELECT usr 
FROM UserData usr
JOIN usr.roles rle
WHERE rle = 1
      Parameters:
      property - The property name of the object
      alias - Alias to resolve the property against, use null to resolve the property agains the root entity
      Returns:

    • property

      public static Expression property(String alias, String property, Expression index)
      Create an expression representing the value of an indexed property. An indexed property is an element in a list, array or map. The alias and property is used as in property(String, String). The index expression is applied as: property[index].
      Parameters:
      property - The property name of the object
      alias - Alias to resolve the property against, use null to resolve the property agains the root entity
      index - An index expression (null is allowed)

      alias - The alias to resolve the property agains, or null to resolve the property against the root entity
      property - The property name of the object which must be a map or list association

    • innerJoin

      public static Join innerJoin(String alias, String property, String joinedAlias) throws InvalidDataException
      Create an inner join query element. An inner join only selects an item if it has an associated item. The property must reference an association to another item or collection of values. See property(String, String) for a code example.
      Parameters:

      property - The property name of the associated entity (required)
      joinedAlias - The alias to give the joined entity (required)

    • innerJoin

      public static Join innerJoin(String alias, String property, String joinedAlias, Restriction on, boolean fetch) throws InvalidDataException
      Create an inner join query element and optionally prefetch the joined items in the same query. This is useful to avoid subsequent queries to the database when you know that you are going to access the joined items in your code. If you are joining a collection the Query.setFirstResult(int) and Query.setMaxResults(int) shouldn't be used since the join will create multiple rows for the same root item.
      Parameters:
      alias - The alias to resolve the property against, or null to resolve the property against the root entity
      property - The property name of the associated entity (required)
      joinedAlias - The alias to give the joined entity (required)
      on - Optional extra restriction that is used in the ON clause of the generated query
      fetch - If the joined items should be prefetched or not
      Returns:
      A join query element
      Throws:
      InvalidDataException - If the property or joined alias parameter are null or if any of the parameters contains invalid characters
      Since:
      2.8

    • leftJoin

      public static Join leftJoin(String property, String joinedAlias) throws InvalidDataException

    • leftJoin

      public static Join leftJoin(String alias, String property, String joinedAlias, Restriction on, boolean fetch) throws InvalidDataException
      Create a left join query element. A left join selects all items from the root entity even if they don't have an associated item. The property must reference an association to another item or collection of values. 
      // Find all users not assigned to a role
ItemQuery<User> query = User.getQuery();
query.join(Hql.leftJoin("roles", "rle"));
query.restrict(
  Restrictions.eq(
    Hql.alias("rle"),
    null
  )
);

// Generated HQL
SELECT usr 
FROM UserData usr
LEFT JOIN usr.roles rle
WHERE rle IS NULL

      The fetch parameter is used to fetch the joined data in the same query. This is useful to avoid subsequent queries to the database when you know that you are going to access the joined items in your code. If you are joining a collection the Query.setFirstResult(int) and Query.setMaxResults(int) shouldn't be used since the join will create multiple rows for the same root item.

      Parameters:
      alias - The alias to resolve the property against, or null to resolve the property against the root entity
      property - The property name of the associated entity (required)
      joinedAlias - The alias to give the joined entity (required)
      on - Optional extra restriction that is used in the ON clause of the generated query
      fetch - If the joined items should be prefetched or not
      Returns:
      A join query element
      Throws:
      InvalidDataException - If the property or joined alias parameter are null or if any of the parameters contains invalid characters
