Method Detail

getValues

public SortedSet getValues()

Gets the list of values that is specified for this constraint.

toString

public String toString()

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

Returns:

A string representation of this FieldValueInConstraint.
