Class ComplexPredicate

java.lang.Object
oracle.webcenter.search.Predicate
oracle.webcenter.search.ComplexPredicate

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class ComplexPredicate

extends Predicate

The Query Predicate is a logical grouping of the various criteria that comprise a Query. Through the Query Predicate, ANDing and ORing of the criteria can be specified. Moreover, nesting of Query Predicates is also possible.

Since:

11.1.1.0.0 Beta 2

ComplexPredicate.ConjunctionOp The operator to use to conjoin criteria together.

Constructor Summary

ComplexPredicate()
Constructs an empty ComplexPredicate with a default conjunction operator of ConjunctionOp.And.

ComplexPredicate(ComplexPredicate.ConjunctionOp conjunctionOp)
Constructs a ComplexPredicate with the specified conjunction operator.

ComplexPredicate(ComplexPredicate.ConjunctionOp conjunctionOp, Predicate... predicates)
