Constructor Detail

IlrPropertyMatchTest

public IlrPropertyMatchTest(int kind,
                            IlrValue first,
                            IlrValue second)

Constructs a property match test. This test involves two values.

Parameters:

kind - The kind of test, as defined in IlrBinaryTester. The possible values are IlrBinaryTester.MATCH, IlrBinaryTester.MATCH_UP, IlrBinaryTester.MATCH_DOWN and IlrBinaryTester.MATCH_UPDOWN. In case an incorrect value is given, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

first - The first argument value.

second - The second argument value.

Method Detail

setHierarchy

public void setHierarchy(IlrHierarchicalPropertyElement hierarchy)

Sets the hierarchy attached to the test.

Parameters:

hierarchy - The hierarchy attached to the test.

getHierarchy

public IlrHierarchicalPropertyElement getHierarchy()

Returns the hierarchy attached to the test.

Returns:

The hierarchy attached to the test.

getTester

public IlrBinaryTester getTester()

Determines and returns the binary tester used to perform the test. The tester is determined using the types of the arguments and the kind of the test. If this method returns null, the test is not a valid test expression.

Overrides:

getTester in class IlrBinaryTest

Returns:

A binary tester, or null if the test is not valid.
