Parameters:

element - The collect element of the condition.

collector - A collector.

Method Detail

bindObject

public IlrVariable bindObject(String name)

Creates a variable to represent the binding of the object matched by this condition. The object matched by this condition is an IlrCollection.

Parameters:

name - The name of the variable binding.

Returns:

The variable which represents the binding of the object matched by this condition.

getObjectBinding

public final IlrVariable getObjectBinding()

Gets the object binding of this condition.

Returns:

The variable which represents the binding of the object matched by this condition, or null if the object is not bound.

getCollector

public IlrValue getCollector()

Gets the collector of this condition.

Returns:

The IlrValue which represents the collector.

getCollectElement

public IlrCollectElement getCollectElement()

Gets the collection element of this condition.

Returns:

The IlrCollectElement bound to this condition.

hasDefaultCollector

public boolean hasDefaultCollector()

Check whether the collector is the default collector.

Returns:

true if the collector is the default one, false otherwise.

exploreCondition

public Object exploreCondition(IlrFactoryExplorer explorer)

Explores the collect condition using a factory explorer and returns an object as a result.

Specified by:

exploreCondition in class IlrCondition

Parameters:

explorer - The factory explorer.

Returns:

An object which represents the result of the exploration, or null if the method does not return a value.
