Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Boolean	getMissing()	If set to non-null value, indicates that this parameter has been populated with a "[name]:missing=true" or "[name]:missing=false" vale instead of a normal value
String	getQueryParameterQualifier()	This method will return any qualifier that should be appended to the parameter name (e.g ":exact").
String	getValue()	Returns the value for the token (generally the value to the right of the vertical bar on the URL)
String	getValueAsQueryToken(FhirContext theContext)	Returns a representation of this parameter's value as it will be represented "over the wire".
String	getValueNotNull()
boolean	isEmpty()
protected boolean	isSupportsChain()	Does this parameter type support chained parameters (only reference should return true for this)
ca.uhn.fhir.rest.param.BaseParam	setMissing(Boolean theMissing)	If set to non-null value, indicates that this parameter has been populated with a "[name]:missing=true" or "[name]:missing=false" vale instead of a normal value
SpecialParam	setValue(String theValue)
void	setValueAsQueryToken(FhirContext theContext, String theParamName, String theQualifier, String theValue)	This method is generally only called by HAPI itself, and should not need to be called from user code.

Method Detail

getValue

public String getValue()

Returns the value for the token (generally the value to the right of the vertical bar on the URL)

getValueNotNull

public String getValueNotNull()

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

setValue

public SpecialParam setValue(String theValue)

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getMissing

public Boolean getMissing()

If set to non-null value, indicates that this parameter has been populated with a "[name]:missing=true" or "[name]:missing=false" vale instead of a normal value

Specified by:

getMissing in interface IQueryParameterType

getQueryParameterQualifier

public final String getQueryParameterQualifier()

Description copied from interface: IQueryParameterType

This method will return any qualifier that should be appended to the parameter name (e.g ":exact"). Returns null if none are present.

Specified by:

getQueryParameterQualifier in interface IQueryParameterType

getValueAsQueryToken

public final String getValueAsQueryToken(FhirContext theContext)

Description copied from interface: IQueryParameterType

Returns a representation of this parameter's value as it will be represented "over the wire". In other words, how it will be presented in a URL (although not URL escaped)

See FHIR specification 2.2.2 Search SearchParameter Types for information on the token format

Specified by:

getValueAsQueryToken in interface IQueryParameterType

Parameters:

theContext - TODO

Returns:

Returns a representation of this parameter's value as it will be represented "over the wire". In other words, how it will be presented in a URL (although not URL escaped)

isSupportsChain

protected boolean isSupportsChain()

Does this parameter type support chained parameters (only reference should return true for this)

setMissing

public ca.uhn.fhir.rest.param.BaseParam setMissing(Boolean theMissing)

If set to non-null value, indicates that this parameter has been populated with a "[name]:missing=true" or "[name]:missing=false" vale instead of a normal value

Specified by:

setMissing in interface IQueryParameterType

Returns:

Returns a reference to this for easier method chaining

setValueAsQueryToken

public final void setValueAsQueryToken(FhirContext theContext,
                                       String theParamName,
                                       String theQualifier,
                                       String theValue)

Description copied from interface: IQueryParameterType

This method is generally only called by HAPI itself, and should not need to be called from user code.

See FHIR specification 2.2.2 Search SearchParameter Types for information on the token format

Specified by:

setValueAsQueryToken in interface IQueryParameterType

Parameters:

theContext - TODO

theParamName - TODO

theQualifier - The parameter name qualifier that accompanied this value. For example, if the complete query was http://foo?name:exact=John, qualifier would be ":exact"

theValue - The actual parameter value. For example, if the complete query was http://foo?name:exact=John, the value would be "John"
