Create a path expression that corresponds to the map key.

Returns:Path<K>

path corresponding to map key

onback to summary
public MapJoin<Z, K, V> on(Expression<Boolean> restriction)

Redeclares javax.persistence.criteria.Join.on.

public Path<V> value()

Create a path expression that corresponds to the map value. This method is for stylistic use only: it just returns this.

Returns:Path<V>

path corresponding to the map value
