Question

Looking for query language to work with java objects. Found MQL ( Mule Query Language ).
It’s in beta, I didn’t find much documentation. tried couple of things like where clause and select clause. But order clause is not working.

List users = new ArrayList(); 
users.add(new User("Dan", "[e-mail]",2,13000 , address)); 
address = new Address("International pkway","Atlatna","GA","USA"); 
users.add(new User("Joe", "[e-mail]", 1,14000, address)); 
users.add(new User("John", "[e-mail]", 1,16000, address)); 
users.add(new User("Scott", "[e-mail]", 1,15000, address)); 
users.add(new User("Andy", "[e-mail]", 1,7000, address)); 

Query query = new QueryBuilder() 
.as("p") 
.orderby("income") 
// .max(3) 
.where(eq(property("companyId"), 1)) 
.select(newObject() 
.set("name", "name") 
.set("income", "income") 
.set("email", "email")).build(); 

Collection result1 = query.execute(users); 

Please let me know , if any one has luck playing with MQL or suggest any other good framework to query java objects.

Another error – when the result set is not hashmap.

    List persons = getPersons();

    Query query = new QueryBuilder()
    //  .where(and(eq(property(“division”), “Sales”),
    // eq(property(“firstName”), “Joe”)))
    .orderby(“income”)
    .max(3)
    .build();

  public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {

        Object r1 = null, r2 = null;
        if(o1 instanceof Map && o2 instanceof Map) {
            Map<String,Object> o1Map = (Map<String,Object>) o1;
            Map<String,Object> o2Map = (Map<String,Object>)  o2;
             r1 = MVEL.executeExpression(expression,o1Map.get(queryBuilder.getAs()), o1Map);
             r2 = MVEL.executeExpression(expression, o2Map.get(queryBuilder.getAs()), o2Map);

        }else {
             r1 = MVEL.executeExpression(expression,  o1);
             r2 = MVEL.executeExpression(expression,  o2);

        }


        if (r1 instanceof Comparable && r2 instanceof Comparable) {
            return ((Comparable)r1).compareTo(r2);
        }

        if (r1 == null && r2 == null) {
            return 0;
        }

        if (r1 == null) {
            return -1;
        }

        if (r2 == null) {
            return 1;
        }

        return r1.toString().compareTo(r2.toString());
    }
