Interface CompoundPredicate

All Known Implementing Classes:

AndPredicate, OrPredicate

public interface CompoundPredicate

Interface for predicates which operate on an array of sub-predicates. Implementations of this interface must include a default no-args constructor. If a CompoundPredicate is also a VisitablePredicate, taking into account the immutability requirements for VisitablePredicates, setPredicates(Predicate[]) should throw an IllegalStateException when invoked on a CompoundStatement whose sub-predicates have already been set.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
<K,V> Predicate<K,V>[]	getPredicates() An array of predicates which compose this predicate.
<K,V> void	setPredicates(Predicate<K,V>[] predicates) Set the sub-predicates of this CompoundPredicate.

Method Detail

getPredicates

<K,V> Predicate<K,V>[] getPredicates()

An array of predicates which compose this predicate.

Returns:

array of predicates which will be applied by this predicate

setPredicates

<K,V> void setPredicates(Predicate<K,V>[] predicates)

Set the sub-predicates of this CompoundPredicate. If a predicate should be treated as effectively immutable, such as a VisitablePredicate, it is advised that this method throws IllegalStateException when sub-predicates have already been defined.

Type Parameters:

K -

V -

Parameters:

predicates -
