Constructor Detail

NullFilterImpl

protected NullFilterImpl(Expression expresion)

Method Detail

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()

Returns the expression which represents the null check.

Specified by:

getExpression in interface PropertyIsNull

setExpression

public void setExpression(Expression nullCheck)

Sets the expression which represents the null check.

evaluate

public boolean evaluate(Object feature)

Determines whether or not a given feature is 'inside' this filter.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface Filter

Parameters:

feature - Specified feature to examine.

Returns:

Flag confirming whether or not this feature is inside the filter.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this filter.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

String representation of the null filter.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compares this filter to the specified object. Returns true if the passed in object is the same as this filter. Checks to make sure the filter types, and the NullCheckValue are the same.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

o - - the object to compare this LikeFilter against.

Returns:

true if specified object is equal to this filter; false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Override of hashCode method.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code value for this geometry filter.

accept

public Object accept(FilterVisitor visitor,
                     Object extraData)

Used by FilterVisitors to perform some action on this filter instance. Typicaly used by Filter decoders, but may also be used by any thing which needs infomration from filter structure. Implementations should always call: visitor.visit(this); It is importatant that this is not left to a parent class unless the parents API is identical.

Specified by:

accept in interface Filter

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor which requires access to this filter, the method must call visitor.visit(this);
