org.apache.openjpa.kernel.exps.WildcardMatch
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, FilterListener
Direct Known Subclasses:

@Deprecated public class WildcardMatch extends Object implements FilterListener
Deprecated.
Use matches() instead.
Tests if the target matches the wildcard expression given in the argument. The wildcard '?' is used to represent any single character, while '*' is used to represent any series of 0 or more characters. Examples:
"address.street.ext:wildcardMatch (\"?ain*reet\")"

    • getTag

      public String getTag()
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: FilterListener
      Return the tag that this extension listens for.
      Specified by:
      getTag in interface FilterListener

    • expectsArguments

      public boolean expectsArguments()
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: FilterListener
      Return true if this extension expects arguments to act on. Some extensions may not need arguments; for example, an extension to switch a string to upper case might be of the form: field.ext:toUpperCase ().
      Specified by:
      expectsArguments in interface FilterListener

    • expectsTarget

      public boolean expectsTarget()
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: FilterListener
      Return true if this extension expects a target to act on. Some extensions act on a field or object value; others stand alone. field.ext:toUpperCase () acts on the target field but has no arguments, while another possible form, ext:toUpperCase (field) has no target but does have an argument.
      Specified by:
      expectsTarget in interface FilterListener

    • evaluate

      public Object evaluate(Object target, Class targetClass, Object[] args, Class[] argClasses, Object candidate, StoreContext ctx)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: FilterListener
      Evaluate the given expression. This method is used when evaluating in-memory expressions. The method used when evaluating data store expressions will change depending on the data store in use.
      Specified by:
      evaluate in interface FilterListener
      Parameters:
      target - the target object / field value to act on; will be null if this extension does not expect a target
      targetClass - the expected class of the target; given in case the target evaluates to null and typing is needed
      args - the values of the arguments given in the filter; will be null if this extension does not expect an argument
      argClasses - the expected classes of the arguments; given in case an argument evaluates to null and typing is needed
      candidate - the candidate object being evaluated
      ctx - the persistence context
      Returns:
      the value of the extension for this candidate; if this extension is an expression, this method should return Boolean.TRUE or Boolean.FALSE

    • getType

      public Class getType(Class targetClass, Class[] argClasses)
      Deprecated.
      Description copied from interface: FilterListener
      Return the expected type of the result of this listener.
      Specified by:
      getType in interface FilterListener
      Parameters:
      targetClass - the expected class of the target, or null if no target
      argClasses - the expected classes of the arguments, or null if no arguments
