We considered generifying this interface as ValueExp<T>, where T is
the Java type that this expression generates. This allows some additional
checking in the various methods of the Query class, but in practice
not much. Typically you have something like
Query.lt(Query.attr("A"), Query.value(5)). We can arrange for Query.value
to have type ValueExp<Integer> (or maybe ValueExp<Long> or ValueExp<Number>)
but for Query.attr we can't do better than ValueExp<?> or plain ValueExp.
So even though we could define Query.lt as:
QueryExp <T> lt(ValueExp<T> v1, ValueExp<T> v2)
and thus prevent comparing a
number against a string, in practice the first ValueExp will almost always
be a Query.attr so this check serves no purpose. You would have to
write Query.<Number>attr("A"), for example, which would be awful. And,
if you wrote Query.<Integer>attr("A") you would then discover that you
couldn't compare it against Query.value(5) if the latter is defined as
ValueExp<Number>, or against Query.value(5L) if it is defined as
ValueExp<Integer>.
Worse, for Query.in we would like to define:
QueryExp <T> in(ValueExp<T> val, ValueExp<T>[] valueList)
but this is unusable because you cannot write
"new ValueExp<Integer>[] {...}" (the compiler forbids it).
The few mistakes you might catch with this generification certainly
wouldn't justify the hassle of modifying user code to get the checks
to be made and the "unchecked" warnings that would arise if it
wasn't so modified.
We could reconsider this if the Query methods were augmented, for example
with:
AttributeValueExp<Number> numberAttr(String name);
AttributeValueExp<String> stringAttr(String name);
AttributeValueExp<Boolean> booleanAttr(String name);
QueryExp <T> in(ValueExp<T> val, Set<ValueExp<T>> valueSet).
But it's not really clear what numberAttr should do if it finds that the
attribute is not in fact a Number.
