public interface OutputArgument

extends Argument

The Interface of an output argument. The output arguments are used to link output from one Adapter to input to another Service, or to add filter conditions on the output from an Adapter where the adapter can post-process the result and check if the filter conditions apply. The possible output arguments are defined by the Adapter, the filter conditions is set by a MasterService or an Alias. The Adapter is responsible to handle all filtering conditions which all must be fulfilled if the current record should be returned.

Filtering layout example in an Adapter:

Arguments args = ....; ... // Fragments Element el = getAdapterResult(); // Only run filtering if there is any filtering arguments if (args.hasOutputFilters()) { applyFilter(el, args); // Remove all records not matching the OutputFilters } ...
