Parameters:

path - constructor String of PathAccessor

Method Detail

satisfies

public boolean satisfies(Match match,
                         int... ind)

Specified by:

canGenerate in interface Constraint

Overrides:

canGenerate in class ConstraintAdapter

Returns:

true

generate

                                          int... ind)

Uses the encapsulated PAthAccessor to generate satisfying elements.

Specified by:

generate in interface Constraint

Overrides:

generate in class ConstraintAdapter

Parameters:

match - current pattern match

ind - mapped indices

Returns:

generated elements
