protected LikeCriteria(String field,
                       String value,

Method Detail

Parameters:

field - Is the field the criteria is made for.

value - Is the value of this criteria.

Returns:

Returns a case insensitive pattern criteria.

caseSensitive

public static LikeCriteria caseSensitive(String field,
                                         String value)

Parameters:

isCaseSensitive

public final Boolean isCaseSensitive()

Returns:

Returns true if it is case sensitive.

getType

public String getType()

Returns:

getSqlWhereCondition

public String getSqlWhereCondition()

The full Criteria as SQL representation. This does not mean that we want to break encapsulation (Criteria should be independent of the database) but SQL is a representation that is easy to understand.

Returns:

an SQL string as it could occur in a SQL WHERE clause
