asSchemaNavigation

@Nullable
public @Nullable String asSchemaNavigation(String pathAsString,
 Class<?> cls)

Description copied from interface: DataPathNavigator

Q: I really don't know how this thing can be used on queries or scripts... A (roman): Can only be used in stuff like relation-names/field-names. Maybe i can be used on queries, but then it only returns the target type or something.

The idea is that the system can navigate on a schema (like relation, fields, java-bean-properties etc) without having the actual data yet.

Specified by:

asSchemaNavigation in interface DataPathNavigator

Parameters:

pathAsString - the path we want to navigate on

public boolean useNullDataSource()
