Method Detail

getEvaluator

Evaluator getEvaluator()

Returns the evaluator to be used for evaluating expressions during the compilation process.

getValidator

Validator getValidator()

Returns the validator which was used to validate this expression.

Returns:

validator

compile

Calc compile(Exp exp)

Compiles an expression.

Parameters:

exp - Expression

Returns:

Compiled expression

compileAs

Calc compileAs(Exp exp,
               Type resultType,
               List<ResultStyle> preferredResultStyles)

Compiles an expression to a given result type.

If resultType is not null, casts the expression to that type. Throws an exception if that conversion is not allowed by the type system.

The preferredResultStyles parameter specifies a list of desired result styles. It must not be null, but may be empty.

Parameters:

exp - Expression

resultType - Desired result type, or null to use expression's current type

preferredResultStyles - List of result types, in descending order of preference. Never null.

Returns:

Compiled expression, or null if none can satisfy

compileMember

MemberCalc compileMember(Exp exp)

Compiles an expression which yields a Member result.

compileLevel

LevelCalc compileLevel(Exp exp)

Compiles an expression which yields a Level result.

compileDimension

DimensionCalc compileDimension(Exp exp)

Compiles an expression which yields a Dimension result.

compileHierarchy

HierarchyCalc compileHierarchy(Exp exp)

Compiles an expression which yields a Hierarchy result.

compileInteger

IntegerCalc compileInteger(Exp exp)

Compiles an expression which yields an int result. The expression is implicitly converted into a scalar.

compileString

StringCalc compileString(Exp exp)

Compiles an expression which yields a String result. The expression is implicitly converted into a scalar.

compileDateTime

DateTimeCalc compileDateTime(Exp exp)

Compiles an expression which yields a Date result. The expression is implicitly converted into a scalar.

compileList

ListCalc compileList(Exp exp)

Compiles an expression which yields an immutable List result.

Always equivalent to compileList(mondrian.olap.Exp)(exp, false).

compileList

ListCalc compileList(Exp exp,
                     boolean mutable)

Compiles an expression which yields List result.

Such an expression is generally a list of Member objects or a list of tuples (each represented by a Member array).

See compileList(mondrian.olap.Exp).

Parameters:

exp - Expression

mutable - Whether resulting list is mutable

compileIter

IterCalc compileIter(Exp exp)

Compiles an expression which yields an immutable Iterable result.

Parameters:

exp - Expression

Returns:

Calculator which yields an Iterable

compileBoolean

BooleanCalc compileBoolean(Exp exp)

Compiles an expression which yields a boolean result.

Parameters:

exp - Expression

Returns:

Calculator which yields a boolean

compileDouble

DoubleCalc compileDouble(Exp exp)

Compiles an expression which yields a double result.

Parameters:

exp - Expression

Returns:

Calculator which yields a double

compileTuple

TupleCalc compileTuple(Exp exp)

Compiles an expression which yields a tuple result.

Parameters:

exp - Expression

Returns:

Calculator which yields a tuple

compileScalar

Calc compileScalar(Exp exp,
                   boolean specific)

Compiles an expression to yield a scalar result.

If the expression yields a member or tuple, the calculator will automatically apply that member or tuple to the current dimensional context and return the value of the current measure.

Parameters:

exp - Expression

specific - Whether to try to use the specific compile method for scalar types. For example, if specific is true and exp is a string expression, calls compileString(mondrian.olap.Exp)

Returns:

Calculation which returns the scalar value of the expression

registerParameter

ParameterSlot registerParameter(Parameter parameter)

Implements a parameter, returning a unique slot which will hold the parameter's value.

Parameters:

parameter - Parameter

Returns:

Slot

getAcceptableResultStyles

List<ResultStyle> getAcceptableResultStyles()

Returns a list of the ResultStyles acceptable to the caller.
