Class QueryTreeBuilder

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.queryparser.flexible.core.builders.QueryTreeBuilder

All Implemented Interfaces:

QueryBuilder

Direct Known Subclasses:

StandardQueryTreeBuilder

public class QueryTreeBuilder
extends Object
implements QueryBuilder

This class should be used when there is a builder for each type of node. The type of node may be defined in 2 different ways: - by the field name, when the node implements the FieldableNode interface - by its class, it keeps checking the class and all the interfaces and classes this class implements/extends until it finds a builder for that class/interface This class always check if there is a builder for the field name before it checks for the node class. So, field name builders have precedence over class builders. When a builder is found for a node, it's called and the node is passed to the builder. If the returned built object is not null, it's tagged on the node using the tag QUERY_TREE_BUILDER_TAGID. The children are usually built before the parent node. However, if a builder associated to a node is an instance of QueryTreeBuilder, the node is delegated to this builder and it's responsible to build the node and its children.
