- ## Method Details

  - ### getText

    public String getText()
    Description copied from interface: `EJBQLExpression`
    Returns a text property of the node.
    Specified by:
      `getText` in interface `EJBQLExpression`

  - ### isNegated

    public boolean isNegated()
    Description copied from interface: `EJBQLExpression`
    Returns an optional boolean flag that negates the value of the expression.
    Specified by:
      `isNegated` in interface `EJBQLExpression`

  - ### visit

    public void visit(EJBQLExpressionVisitor visitor)
    A recursive visit method that passes a visitor to this node and all its children, depth first.
    Specified by:
      `visit` in interface `EJBQLExpression`

  - ### visitNode

    protected boolean visitNode(EJBQLExpressionVisitor visitor)
    Visits this node without recursion. Default implementation simply returns true. Subclasses override this method to call an appropriate visitor method.

  - ### visitChild

    protected boolean visitChild(EJBQLExpressionVisitor visitor, int childIndex)
    Recursively visits a child at the specified index. Subclasses override this method if they desire to implement callbacks after visiting each child.

  - ### getChild

    public EJBQLExpression getChild(int index)
    Description copied from interface: `EJBQLExpression`
    Returns a child expression node at the specified index.
    Specified by:
      `getChild` in interface `EJBQLExpression`

  - ### getChildrenCount

    public int getChildrenCount()
    Description copied from interface: `EJBQLExpression`
    Returns a number of child operands of this expression node.
    Specified by:
      `getChildrenCount` in interface `EJBQLExpression`

  - ### getName

    public String getName()

  - ### jjtOpen

    public void jjtOpen()
    Description copied from interface: `Node`
    This method is called after the node has been made the current node. It indicates that child nodes can now be added to it.
    Specified by:
      `jjtOpen` in interface `Node`

  - ### jjtClose

    public void jjtClose()
    Description copied from interface: `Node`
    This method is called after all the child nodes have been added.
    Specified by:
      `jjtClose` in interface `Node`

  - ### jjtSetParent

    public void jjtSetParent(Node parent)
    Description copied from interface: `Node`
    This pair of methods are used to inform the node of its parent.
    Specified by:
      `jjtSetParent` in interface `Node`

  - ### jjtGetParent

    public Node jjtGetParent()
    Specified by:
      `jjtGetParent` in interface `Node`

  - ### jjtAddChild

    public void jjtAddChild(Node n, int i)
    Description copied from interface: `Node`
    This method tells the node to add its argument to the node's list of children.
    Specified by:
      `jjtAddChild` in interface `Node`

  - ### jjtGetChild

    public Node jjtGetChild(int i)
    Description copied from interface: `Node`
    This method returns a child node. The children are numbered from zero, left to right.
    Specified by:
      `jjtGetChild` in interface `Node`

  - ### jjtGetNumChildren

    public int jjtGetNumChildren()
    Description copied from interface: `Node`
