Method Detail

getField2

public StepField getField2()

Gets the second associated field.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of this CompareFieldsConstraint. The string representation has the form "CompareFieldsConstraint(inverse:<:inverse>, field:<field>, casesensitive:<casesensitive>, operator:<operator>, field2:<field2>)" where

• <inverse>is the value returned by isInverse()
• <field> is the field alias returned by FieldConstraint#getField().getAlias()
• <casesensitive> is the value returned by isCaseSensitive()
• <operator> is the value returned by getOperator()
• <field2> is the field alias returned by #getField2().getAlias()

Returns:

A string representation of this CompareFieldsConstraint.
