All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicFieldValueBetweenConstraint, RemoteFieldValueBetweenConstraint_Proxy

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.

getLowerLimit

Object getLowerLimit()

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

getUpperLimit

Object getUpperLimit()

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

toString

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()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A string representation of this FieldValueInConstraint.
