Interface ValueBuilder

public interface ValueBuilder

A builder used during the construction of JQL conditions for a particular JQL field in a fluent programming style. It is used to specify the value or values of a JQL condition whose operator has already been specified using a ConditionBuilder. For example, a call to ConditionBuilder.eq() will return a ValueBuilder that can be used to specify which value should be matched by the equals operator.

Each JQL condition is essentially structured as name operator operand. When this object is created, it has an implied "name" and "operator". This object can be used to complete the current JQL condition by creating the operand. For example, JqlQueryBuilder.affectedVersion().eq() creates a ValueBuilder whose implied name is "affectedVersion" and whose operator is "=" that can used to complete the JQL condition by filling in the operand.

Generally, it is not possible to passs nulls, empty collections, empty arrays, collections that contain nulls, or arrays that contain nulls to the methods on this interface. Any exceptions to these argument conditions are documented on the method concerned. Passing a method a bad argument will result in a IllegalArgumentException.

JQL values are of two types String and Long. For fields that are resolvable by both Id's and Names (e.g. projects, versions, issue types, components, options etc), the order of resolution depends on the value type. If the JQL value type is long, JIRA will first attempt to find the domain object by Id, if that fails, it will attempt to find the domain object by name with the string value of the long. If the JQL value type is a String, JIRA will first try to find the domain object by name, if that fails AND the string can be parsed into a number, JIRA attempts to find the domain object by id with that number.
