Interface FieldValueBetweenConstraint

All Superinterfaces:

Constraint, FieldConstraint

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicFieldValueBetweenConstraint

public interface FieldValueBetweenConstraint

extends FieldConstraint

A constraint that restricts the value of a stepfield to be in a specified range of values (numerical or string).

This corresponds to the use of "between ... and ..." in SQL SELECT-syntax.

Method Detail

getLowerLimit

public Object getLowerLimit()

Gets the value of the lower limit of the range specified for this constraint.

getUpperLimit

public Object getUpperLimit()

Gets the value of the upper limit of the range specified for this constraint.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this FieldValueBetweenConstraint. The string representation has the form "FieldValueBetweenConstraint(inverse:<:inverse>, field:<field>, casesensitive:<casesensitive>, lower:<lowerLimit>, upper:<upperLimit>)" 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()
• <lowerLimit> is the values returned by getValues()
• <upperLimit> is the values returned by getValues()

Returns:

A string representation of this FieldValueInConstraint.
