readExternal

public void readExternal(java.io.ObjectInput in)
                  throws java.io.IOException,
                         java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Specified by:

readExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable

Throws:

java.io.IOException

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(java.io.ObjectOutput out)
                   throws java.io.IOException

Specified by:

writeExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getRequiredDeclarations

public Declaration[] getRequiredDeclarations()

Description copied from interface: Constraint

Returns all the declarations required by the given constraint implementation.

Specified by:

getRequiredDeclarations in interface Constraint

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.

Specified by:

replaceDeclaration in interface Constraint

getOtherPattern

public Pattern getOtherPattern()

isTemporal

public boolean isTemporal()

Description copied from interface: Constraint

Returns true in case this constraint is a temporal constraint

Specified by:

isTemporal in interface Constraint

Returns:

createContextEntry

public ContextEntry createContextEntry()

Specified by:

createContextEntry in interface BetaNodeFieldConstraint

isAllowed

public boolean isAllowed(ContextEntry entry)

isAllowedCachedLeft

public boolean isAllowedCachedLeft(ContextEntry context,
                                   InternalFactHandle handle)

Specified by:

isAllowedCachedLeft in interface BetaNodeFieldConstraint

isAllowedCachedRight

public boolean isAllowedCachedRight(Tuple tuple,
                                    ContextEntry context)

Specified by:

isAllowedCachedRight in interface BetaNodeFieldConstraint

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

clone

public InstanceNotEqualsConstraint clone()

Description copied from interface: Constraint

Clones the constraint

Specified by:

clone in interface Constraint

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

getType

public Constraint.ConstraintType getType()

Description copied from interface: Constraint

Returns the type of the constraint, either ALPHA, BETA or UNKNOWN

Specified by:

getType in interface Constraint

Returns:

cloneIfInUse

public BetaNodeFieldConstraint cloneIfInUse()

Description copied from interface: BetaNodeFieldConstraint

Clone this constraints only if it is already used by a different node, otherwise returns this

Specified by:

cloneIfInUse in interface BetaNodeFieldConstraint
