Method Detail

readExternal

public void readExternal(ObjectInput in)
                  throws IOException,
                         ClassNotFoundException

Specified by:

readExternal in interface Externalizable

Overrides:

readExternal in class MutableTypeConstraint

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out)
                   throws IOException

Specified by:

writeExternal in interface Externalizable

Overrides:

writeExternal in class MutableTypeConstraint

Throws:

IOException

getAlphaConstraints

public AlphaNodeFieldConstraint[] getAlphaConstraints()

getBetaConstraints

public BetaNodeFieldConstraint[] getBetaConstraints()

isTemporal

public boolean isTemporal()

Description copied from interface: Constraint

Returns true in case this constraint is a temporal constraint

Returns:

addAlphaConstraint

public void addAlphaConstraint(AlphaNodeFieldConstraint constraint)

Adds an alpha constraint to the multi field OR constraint

Parameters:

constraint -

addBetaConstraint

public void addBetaConstraint(BetaNodeFieldConstraint constraint)

Adds a beta constraint to this multi field OR constraint

Parameters:

constraint -

addConstraint

public void addConstraint(Constraint constraint)

Adds a constraint too all lists it belongs to by checking for its type

Parameters:

constraint -

updateRequiredDeclarations

protected void updateRequiredDeclarations(Constraint constraint)

Updades the cached required declaration array

Parameters:

constraint -

getRequiredDeclarations

public Declaration[] getRequiredDeclarations()

Returns all the declarations required by the given constraint implementation.

Returns:

replaceDeclaration

public void replaceDeclaration(Declaration oldDecl,
                               Declaration newDecl)

When a rule contains multiple logical branches, i.e., makes use of 'OR' CE, it is required to clone patterns and declarations for each logical branch. Since this is done at ReteOO build type, when constraints were already created, eventually some constraints need to update their references to the declarations.

createContextEntry

public ContextEntry createContextEntry()

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

clone

public abstract Object clone()

Description copied from interface: Constraint

Clones the constraint

Specified by:

clone in interface Constraint

Specified by:

clone in class MutableTypeConstraint

Returns:
