    Method
    Description
    <T> T
    createIndexQuery(AttributeDescription attributeDescription, IndexQueryFactory<T> factory)

  • Method Details

    • matches

      default ConditionResult matches(Attribute attribute)
      Indicates whether the provided attribute should be considered a match for this assertion value according to the matching rule. This method will only be called when the assertion is compatible with the attribute's equality matching rule. Thus, implementations can safely use normalized values exposed by the attribute via methods like Attribute.matchesAnyNormalizedValue(Predicate).
      Parameters:
      attribute - The attribute whose equality matching rule is compatible with this assertion.
      Returns:
      TRUE if the attribute should be considered a match for the provided assertion value, FALSE if it does not match, or UNDEFINED if the result is undefined.

    • matches

      ConditionResult matches(ByteString normalizedAttributeValue)
      Indicates whether the provided attribute value should be considered a match for this assertion value according to the matching rule.
      Parameters:
      normalizedAttributeValue - The normalized attribute value.
      Returns:
      TRUE if the attribute value should be considered a match for the provided assertion value, FALSE if it does not match, or UNDEFINED if the result is undefined.

    • createIndexQuery

      <T> T createIndexQuery(AttributeDescription attributeDescription, IndexQueryFactory<T> factory) throws DecodeException
      Returns an index query appropriate for the provided attribute value assertion.
      Type Parameters:
      T - The type of index query created by the factory.
      Parameters:
      attributeDescription - The attribute description whose index should be queried.
      factory - The index query factory which should be used to construct the index query.
      Returns:
      The index query appropriate for the provided attribute value assertion.
      Throws:
      DecodeException - If an error occurs while generating the index query.
