Method Detail

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
