Method Detail

IsCondition

boolean IsCondition()

This expression is just a single condition, with no operator or other moderator.

Returns:

true if the current expression contains only a condition instance, false otherwise

QuerySubExpressionIDs

int[] QuerySubExpressionIDs()

Gets the list of sub expression IDs inside the current expression. Returns null if expression is a condition.

Returns:

array of sub expression IDs

AddSubExpressions

void AddSubExpressions(int[] arExpressionIDs)

Adds the list of sub expressions inside the current expression.

Parameters:

arExpressionIDs - - the list of sub expression IDs to be added

RemoveSubExpressions

void RemoveSubExpressions(int[] arExpressionIDs)

Removes the list of sub expressions inside the current expression. NOTE: The subexpressions are not deleted.

Parameters:

arExpressionIDs - - the list of sub expression IDs to be removed

GetOperatorID

int GetOperatorID()

Gets the operator that will be used to combine the list of sub expressions. Returns -1 if expression is a condition.

Returns:

ID of the operator object

SetOperatorID

void SetOperatorID(int nOpID)

Sets the operator ID to be associated with the expression.

Parameters:

nOpID - - the operator ID to be assigned

GetConditionTypeID

int GetConditionTypeID()

Gets the type of condition that is inside the expression. Returns -1 if expression is not a condition.

Returns:

ID of the condition type object

SetConditionTypeID

void SetConditionTypeID(int nCondTypeID)

Sets the condition type ID of the expression.

Parameters:

nCondTypeID - - the ID to be assigned

GetConditionValue

IValue GetConditionValue()

Gets the value of the condition for the current expression. returns null if expression is not a condition.

Returns:

the value of the condition

SetConditionValue

void SetConditionValue(int nValueType,
                       java.lang.Object objValue)

Sets the condition value of the condition for the expression.

Parameters:

nValueType - - the type of the value: string, integer

objValue - - the actual value to be stored

GetActionType

int GetActionType()

Gets the type of action to be performed if the expression evaluates to true.

Returns:

the type of action to be performed

SetActionType

void SetActionType(int nActionType)

Sets the type of action to be performed if the expression evaluates to true.

Parameters:

nActionType - - the type of action to be set

GetActionValue

int GetActionValue()

Gets the action value to be performed if the expression evalutes to true.

Returns:

the action value

SetActionValue

void SetActionValue(int nActionValue)

Sets the action value to be performed if the expression evalutes to true.

Parameters:

nActionValue - - the action value to be set

GetTopicPos

int GetTopicPos()

Gets the priority of the expression categorized by action types. Returns 0 if expression has no priority.

Returns:

the priority of the expression

SetTopicPos

void SetTopicPos(int nTopicPos)

Sets the priority of the expression categorized by action types.

Parameters:

nTopicPos - - the priority to be set
