- ## Method Details

  - ### getMetaData

    public QueryMetadata getMetaData(EntityResolver resolver)
    Description copied from interface: `Query`
    Returns query runtime parameters. The method is called at various stages of the execution by Cayenne access stack to retrieve query parameters. EntityResolver instance is passed to this method, meaning that the query doesn't need to store direct references to Cayenne mapping objects and can resolve them at runtime.
    Specified by:
      `getMetaData` in interface `Query`

  - ### route

    public void route(QueryRouter router, EntityResolver resolver, Query substitutedQuery)
    Description copied from interface: `Query`
    A callback method invoked by Cayenne during the routing phase of the query execution. Mapping of DataNodes is provided by QueryRouter. Query should use a `QueryRouter.route(DataNode, Query, Query)` callback method to route itself. Query can create one or more substitute queries or even provide its own DataNode to execute itself.
    Specified by:
      `route` in interface `Query`

  - ### createSQLAction

    public SQLAction createSQLAction(SQLActionVisitor visitor)
    Description copied from interface: `Query`
    A callback method invoked by Cayenne during the final execution phase of the query run. A concrete query implementation is given a chance to decide how it should be handled. Implementors can pick an appropriate method of the SQLActionVisitor to handle itself, create a custom SQLAction of its own, or substitute itself with another query that should be used for SQLAction construction.
    Specified by:
      `createSQLAction` in interface `Query`

  - ### isRefreshAll

    public boolean isRefreshAll()

  - ### getGroupKeys

    public String[] getGroupKeys()

  - ### getObjects

    public Collection<?> getObjects()

  - ### getQuery

    public Query getQuery()
    Returns an internal query, overriding cache policy to force a refresh. Returns null if no query was set.
