CriteriaBuilder

public static interface CriteriaBuilder.SimpleCase<C,R>
extends Expression<R>

Interface used to build simple case expressions. Case conditions are evaluated in the order in which they are specified.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Expression<C>	getExpression() Return the expression to be tested against the conditions.
Expression<R>	otherwise(Expression<? extends R> result) Add an "else" clause to the case expression.
Expression<R>	otherwise(R result) Add an "else" clause to the case expression.
CriteriaBuilder.SimpleCase<C,R>	when(C condition, Expression<? extends R> result) Add a when/then clause to the case expression.
CriteriaBuilder.SimpleCase<C,R>	when(C condition, R result) Add a when/then clause to the case expression.
