Class QueryBase

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    QueryInterface
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    HttpTransactionQueryBase
    public abstract class QueryBase
extends Object
implements QueryInterface
    This module provides a single, core implementation of QueryInterface. It provides "lowest common denominator" functionality. In reality, each search application should extend QueryBase and implement appropriate methods. See HttpTransactionQueryBase.java for an example.
