static Filter |
and(Filter leftHandSide,
Filter rightHandSide)
Logically "ANDs" together the two specified instances of
Filter . |
static Filter |
contains(Attribute attr)
Select only an input
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that contains as any substring
the value of the specified Attribute . |
static Filter |
containsAllValues(Attribute attr)
Select only an input
ConnectorObject with a value for the
specified Attribute that contains all the values from the
specified Attribute . |
static Filter |
endsWith(Attribute attr)
Select only an input
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that contains as a final substring
the value of the specified Attribute . |
static Filter |
equalTo(Attribute attr)
Select only an input
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that is lexically equal to
the value of the specified Attribute . |
static Filter |
greaterThan(Attribute attr)
Select only an input
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that is lexically greater than
the value of the specified Attribute . |
static Filter |
greaterThanOrEqualTo(Attribute attr)
Select only an input
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that is lexically greater than or equal to
the value of the specified Attribute . |
static Filter |
lessThan(Attribute attr)
Select only an input
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that is lexically less than
the value of the specified Attribute . |
static Filter |
lessThanOrEqualTo(Attribute attr)
Select only an input
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that is lexically less than or equal to
the value of the specified Attribute . |
static Filter |
not(Filter filter)
Logically negate the specified
Filter . |
static Filter |
or(Filter leftHandSide,
Filter rightHandSide)
Logically "OR" together the two specified instances of
Filter . |
static Filter |
startsWith(Attribute attr)
Select only an input
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that contains as an initial substring
the value of the specified Attribute . |
public static Filter endsWith(Attribute attr)
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that contains as a final substring
the value of the specified Attribute
.
For example, if the specified Attribute
were
{"hairColor": "d"}
,
this would match any ConnectorObject
with a value such as
{"hairColor": "red"}
or
{"hairColor": "blond"}
but would not match any ConnectorObject
that contains only values such as
{"hairColor": "blonde"}
or
{"hairColor": "auburn"}
.
This also would not match any ConnectorObject
that contains only {"hairColor": null}
or that lacks the attribute "hairColor"
.
attr
- Attribute
containing exactly one value
to test against each value of the corresponding
ConnectorObject
attribute.Filter
whose accept()
method
will return true
if at least one value
of the corresponding attribute of the ConnectorObject
contains as its last part
the value of the specified Attribute
;
otherwise false
.public static Filter startsWith(Attribute attr)
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that contains as an initial substring
the value of the specified Attribute
.
For example, if the specified Attribute
were
{"hairColor": "b"}
,
this would match any ConnectorObject
with a value such as
{"hairColor": "brown"}
or
{"hairColor": "blond"}
but would not match any ConnectorObject
that contains only values such as
{"hairColor": "red"}
or
{"hairColor": "auburn"}
.
This also would not match any ConnectorObject
that contains only {"hairColor": null}
or that lacks the attribute "hairColor"
.
attr
- Attribute
containing exactly one value
to test against each value of the corresponding
ConnectorObject
attribute.Filter
whose accept()
method
will return true
if at least one value
of the corresponding attribute of the ConnectorObject
contains as its first part
the value of the specified Attribute
;
otherwise false
.public static Filter contains(Attribute attr)
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that contains as any substring
the value of the specified Attribute
.
For example, if the specified Attribute
were
{"hairColor": "a"}
,
this would match any ConnectorObject
with a value such as
{"hairColor": "auburn"}
or
{"hairColor": "gray"}
but would not match any ConnectorObject
that contains only
{"hairColor": "red"}
or
{"hairColor": "grey"}
.
This also would not match any ConnectorObject
that contains only {"hairColor": null}
or that lacks the attribute "hairColor"
.
attr
- Attribute
containing exactly one value
to test against each value of the corresponding
ConnectorObject
attribute.Filter
whose accept()
method
will return true
if at least one value
of the corresponding attribute of the ConnectorObject
contains anywhere within it
the value of the specified Attribute
;
otherwise false
.public static Filter equalTo(Attribute attr)
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that is lexically equal to
the value of the specified Attribute
.
NOTE: Is comparison case-sensitive?
For example, if the specified Attribute
were
{"hairColor": "brown"}
,
this would match any ConnectorObject
with a value such as
{"hairColor": "brown"}
or
{"hairColor": "BROWN"}
but would not match any ConnectorObject
that contains only
{"hairColor": "brownish-gray"}
or
{"hairColor": "auburn"}
.
This also would not match any ConnectorObject
that contains only {"hairColor": null}
or that lacks the attribute "hairColor"
.
NOTE: Lexical comparison of two string values
compares the characters of each value,
even if the string values could be interpreted as numeric.
The values "01"
and "1"
are unequal lexically,
although they would be equivalent arithmetically.
Two attributes with binary syntax are equal if and only if their constituent bytes match.
attr
- Attribute
containing exactly one value
to test against each value of the corresponding
ConnectorObject
attribute.Filter
whose accept()
method
will return true
if at least one value
of the corresponding attribute of the ConnectorObject
matches lexically
the value of the specified Attribute
;
otherwise false
.public static Filter greaterThanOrEqualTo(Attribute attr)
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that is lexically greater than or equal to
the value of the specified Attribute
.
NOTE: Is comparison case-sensitive?
For example, if the specified Attribute
were
{"hairColor": "brown"}
,
this would match any ConnectorObject
with a value such as
{"hairColor": "brown"}
or
{"hairColor": "brownish-gray"}
or
{"hairColor": "red"}
but would not match any ConnectorObject
that contains only
{"hairColor": "black"}
or
{"hairColor": "blond"}
or
{"hairColor": "auburn"}
.
This also would not match any ConnectorObject
that contains only {"hairColor": null}
or that lacks the attribute "hairColor"
.
NOTE: Lexical comparison of two string values
compares the characters of each value,
even if the string values could be interpreted as numeric.
When compared lexically, "99"
is greater than "123"
.
When compared arithmetically, 99
is less than 123
.
attr
- Attribute
containing exactly one value
to test against each value of the corresponding
ConnectorObject
attribute.Filter
whose accept()

the value of the specified Attribute
;
otherwise false
.public static Filter lessThanOrEqualTo(Attribute attr)
ConnectorObject
with a value for the specified Attribute
that is lexically less than or equal to
the value of the specified Attribute
.
