public class AlphaNode
extends ObjectSource
implements ObjectSinkNode

AlphaNodes are nodes in the Rete network used to apply FieldConstraint<.code>s on asserted fact objects where the FieldConstraints have no dependencies on any other of the facts in the current Rule.

Constructor Details

AlphaNode

public AlphaNode()

AlphaNode

public AlphaNode(int id,
 AlphaNodeFieldConstraint constraint,
 ObjectSource objectSource,
 BuildContext context)

Construct an AlphaNode with a unique id using the provided FieldConstraint and the given ObjectSource. Set the boolean flag to true if the node is supposed to have local memory, or false otherwise. Memory is optional for AlphaNodes and is only of benefic when adding additional Rules at runtime.

Parameters:

id - Node's ID

constraint - Node's constraints

objectSource - Node's object source
