Goal is to provide a simple DSL to users to ease data query in UI :

• UI would show text filter for each data property
• If valid, filter will fill a SQL query (join and where clause)
• Filter can apply to Boolean, Number, Date, Enum and String types

See this unit test for an example

Is available through this class

• Basic expressions : is null, is not null, is true, is false, is empty, is not empty
• Basic operators : =, !=, >, >=, <, <=
• List operators : in, not in
• String operators : like, not like
• Binary operators : and, or

• is true
• (< 10 or >= 123.456 or in (12, 13.14)) and not in (5.5, 555)
• like youpi% and != youpi0 or is empty
• in (USER, GROUP) or is null
• >= 2012-09-01 and < 2012-10-01

• parboiled : parsing Java library
• Querydsl : SQL construction framework in Java

• Currently only JPAQuery is supported
• Find a way to provide auto-completion to user
• Not sure Enum data type is really working, should String be converted to Enum in JPA parameters ?
