Constructor Detail

RelOpClause

protected RelOpClause(int operator,
                      SubClause lhs,
                      List rhs)
               throws DAP2ServerSideException

Creates a new RelOpClause. If the lhs and all the elements of the rhs are constant, the RelOpClause will be flagged as constant, and evaluated immediately.

Parameters:

operator - The operator invoked by the clause

lhs - The left-hand side of the comparison.

rhs - A list of SubClauses representing the right-hand side of the comparison.

Throws:

DAP2ServerSideException - Thrown if the clause is constant, but the attempt to evaluate it fails.

Method Detail

getValue

public boolean getValue()

Description copied from interface: TopLevelClause

Returns the current value of the clause. The value of non-constant Clauses is undefined until the evaluate() method has been called.

Specified by:

getValue in interface TopLevelClause

evaluate

public boolean evaluate()
                 throws DAP2ServerSideException

Description copied from interface: TopLevelClause

Evaluates the clause, first calling evaluate() on any sub-clauses it contains. Implementations of this method should flag the clause as "defined" if the evaluation is successful.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface TopLevelClause

Throws:

DAP2ServerSideException - Thrown if the evaluation fails for any reason.

getLHS

public SubClause getLHS()

Returns a SubClause representing the right-hand side of the comparison.

getRHS

public List getRHS()

Returns a list of SubClauses representing the right-hand side of the comparison.

getOperator

public int getOperator()

Returns the type of comparison

printConstraint

public void printConstraint(PrintWriter os)

Prints the original string representation of this clause. For use in debugging.

Specified by:
