public interface FilterListener
A filter listener extends expression filters with custom functionality.
| Method Summary | |
|---|---|
Object |
evaluate(Object target,
Class targetClass,
Object[] args,
Class[] argClasses,
Object candidate,
StoreContext ctx)
Evaluate the given expression. |
boolean |
expectsArguments()
Return true if this extension expects arguments to act on. |
boolean |
expectsTarget()
Return true if this extension expects a target to act on. |
String |
getTag()
Return the tag that this extension listens for. |
Class |
getType(Class targetClass,
Class[] argClasses)
Return the expected type of the result of this listener. |
| Method Detail |

String getTag()
boolean expectsArguments()
field.ext:toUpperCase ().
boolean expectsTarget()
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.
Object evaluate(Object target,
Class targetClass,
Object[] args,
Class[] argClasses,
Object candidate,
StoreContext ctx)
target - the target object / field value to act on; will be
null if this extension does not expect a targettargetClass - the expected class of the target; given in case
the target evaluates to null and typing is neededargs - the values of the arguments given in the filter;
will be null if this extension does not expect an argumentargClasses - the expected classes of the arguments; given in case
an argument evaluates to null and typing is neededcandidate - the candidate object being evaluatedctx - the persistence context
Boolean.TRUE or Boolean.FALSE
UserException - if this extension does not
support in-memory operation
Class getType(Class targetClass,
Class[] argClasses)
targetClass - the expected class of the target, or null if no targetargClasses - the expected classes of the arguments, or null if
no arguments
