      <X> JpaExpression<X> as(Class<X> type)
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Perform a typecast upon the expression, returning a new expression object. This method does not cause type conversion: the runtime type is not changed. Warning: may result in a runtime failure.
      Specified by:
      as in interface Expression<T>
      Parameters:
      type - intended type of the expression
      Returns:
      new expression of the given type

    • isNull

      JpaPredicate isNull()
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Create a predicate to test whether the expression is null.
      Specified by:
      isNull in interface Expression<T>
      Returns:
      predicate testing whether the expression is null

    • isNotNull

      JpaPredicate isNotNull()
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Create a predicate to test whether the expression is not null.
      Specified by:
      isNotNull in interface Expression<T>
      Returns:
      predicate testing whether the expression is not null

    • in

      JpaPredicate in(Object... values)
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Create a predicate to test whether the expression is a member of the argument list.
      Specified by:
      in in interface Expression<T>
      Parameters:
      values - values to be tested against
      Returns:
      predicate testing for membership

    • in

      JpaPredicate in(Expression<?>... values)
      Description copied from interface: Expression

      in in interface Expression<T>
      Parameters:
      values - expressions to be tested against
      Returns:
      predicate testing for membership

    • in

      JpaPredicate in(Collection<?> values)
      Description copied from interface: Expression
      Create a predicate to test whether the expression is a member of the collection.
      Specified by:
      in in interface Expression<T>
      Parameters:
      values - collection of values to be tested against
      Returns:
      predicate testing for membership

    • in

      JpaPredicate in(Expression<Collection<?>> values)
      Description copied from interface: Expression
