<div class="block"><h3>Property API</h3>
<p>
This API allows to use type aware <a href="../Expression.html" title="class in org.apache.cayenne.exp"><code>expression</code></a> factories aka Properties.<br>
These properties are normally generated as static constants in model classes, but they can also be created manually by
<a href="PropertyFactory.html" title="class in org.apache.cayenne.exp.property"><code>PropertyFactory</code></a> if needed.
<p>
Typical usage in select queries:
<pre><code>
Painting painting = ...
Artist artist = ObjectSelect.query(Artist.class)
.where(Artist.PAINTING_ARRAY.contains(painting))
.and(Artist.DATE_OF_BIRTH.year().gt(1950))
.and(Artist.ARTIST_NAME.like("Pablo%"))
.orderBy(Artist.ARTIST_NAME.asc())
.prefetch(Artist.PAINTING_ARRAY.disjointById())
.selectOne(context);
</code></pre>
<p>
Currently supported Property types:
<ul>
<li><a href="NumericProperty.html" title="class in org.apache.cayenne.exp.property"><code>NumericProperty</code></a> for all data types inherited from <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Number.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang" class="externalLink"><code>Number</code></a>.<br>
Supports comparison and math functions (like <a href="NumericProperty.html#sqrt()"><code>sqrt()</code></a>).
<br>
<li><a href="StringProperty.html" title="class in org.apache.cayenne.exp.property"><code>StringProperty</code></a> for all data types inherited from <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/CharSequence.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang" class="externalLink"><code>CharSequence</code></a>.<br>
Supports multiple string functions (<a href="StringProperty.html#like(java.lang.String)"><code>like()</code></a>,
<a href="StringProperty.html#concat(java.lang.Object...)"><code>concat()</code></a>, etc.)
<br>
<li><a href="DateProperty.html" title="class in org.apache.cayenne.exp.property"><code>DateProperty</code></a> for <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Date.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.util" class="externalLink"><code>Date</code></a> (and <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/sql/package-summary.html?is-external=true" class="externalLink"><code>java.sql</code></a> variants)
and <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/LocalDate.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.time" class="externalLink"><code>LocalDate</code></a>, <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/LocalTime.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.time" class="externalLink"><code>LocalTime</code></a>, <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/LocalDateTime.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.time" class="externalLink"><code>LocalDateTime</code></a>.<br>
Supports date functions like <a href="DateProperty.html#year()"><code>year()</code></a>.
<br>
<li><a href="EntityProperty.html" title="class in org.apache.cayenne.exp.property"><code>EntityProperty</code></a> for to-one relationships.<br>
Supports prefetch related methods, <a href="PathProperty.html#dot(org.apache.cayenne.exp.property.BaseProperty)"><code>dot()</code></a> methods, etc.
<br>
<li><a href="ListProperty.html" title="class in org.apache.cayenne.exp.property"><code>ListProperty</code></a>, <a href="SetProperty.html" title="class in org.apache.cayenne.exp.property"><code>SetProperty</code></a>
and <a href="MapProperty.html" title="class in org.apache.cayenne.exp.property"><code>MapProperty</code></a> are for to-many relationships.<br>
In addition to to-one related methods these properties support collection comparison methods
like <a href="CollectionProperty.html#contains(V)"><code>contains()</code></a>.
<br>
<li><a href="EmbeddableProperty.html" title="class in org.apache.cayenne.exp.property"><code>EmbeddableProperty</code></a> for embeddable objects
<br>
<li><a href="NumericIdProperty.html" title="class in org.apache.cayenne.exp.property"><code>NumericIdProperty</code></a> for numeric PK properties
<br>
<li><a href="BaseIdProperty.html" title="class in org.apache.cayenne.exp.property"><code>BaseIdProperty</code></a> for non-numeric PK properties
<br>
<li><a href="BaseProperty.html" title="class in org.apache.cayenne.exp.property"><code>BaseProperty</code></a> for all other data types, supports basic operations (equality, sorting).
