Method Detail

addChunck

public XpathConstraint.XpathChunk addChunck(Class<?> clazz,
                                   String field,
                                   int index,
                                   boolean iterate)

getRequiredDeclarations

public Declaration[] getRequiredDeclarations()

Description copied from interface: Constraint

Returns all the declarations required by the given constraint implementation.

Returns:

replaceDeclaration

public void replaceDeclaration(Declaration oldDecl,
                      Declaration newDecl)

Description copied from interface: Constraint

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.

clone

public XpathConstraint clone()

Description copied from interface: Constraint

Clones the constraint

Specified by:

clone in interface Constraint

Specified by:

clone in class MutableTypeConstraint

Returns:

isTemporal

public boolean isTemporal()

Description copied from interface: Constraint

Returns true in case this constraint is a temporal constraint

Returns:

isAllowedCachedLeft

public boolean isAllowedCachedLeft(ContextEntry context,
                          InternalFactHandle handle)

isAllowedCachedRight

public boolean isAllowedCachedRight(LeftTuple tuple,
                           ContextEntry context)

createContextEntry

isAllowed

public boolean isAllowed(InternalFactHandle handle,
                InternalWorkingMemory workingMemory,
                ContextEntry context)

readExternal

public void readExternal(ObjectInput in)
                  throws IOException,
