Constructor Detail

PathConstraintLookup

public PathConstraintLookup(java.lang.String path,
                            java.lang.String value,
                            java.lang.String extraValue)

Constructs a new PathConstraintLookup. The path should be a normal path expression with dots separating the parts. Do not use colons to represent outer joins, and do not use square brackets to represent subclass constraints. The path will be checked for format, but can only be verified once inside a PathQuery object by the PathQuery.verifyQuery() method. This object is used to form a lookup constraint.

Parameters:

path - the path that the constraint is attached to

value - the value to look up

extraValue - the extra value (for instance, the organism name)

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if path or value are null

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the path contains colons or square brackets, or is otherwise in a bad format
