Constructor Detail

PathConstraintMultiValue

public PathConstraintMultiValue(java.lang.String path,
                                ConstraintOp op,
                                java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> values)

Constructs a new PathConstraintMultiValue. 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 constraint to multiple values.

Parameters:

path - the path that the constraint is attached to

op - the type of operation

values - the collection of values to constrain to

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if path, op, or ids are null

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the path contains colons or square brackets, or is otherwise in a bad format, or if the op is invalid for this constraint type

Method Detail

getValues

public java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> getValues()

Returns the value collection that the constraint is constraining to.

Returns:

a Collection of Strings

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
