ValueDiscriminator (Oracle Fusion Middleware Java API Reference for Oracle Data Visualization Components)

java.lang.Object
- oracle.dss.rules.discriminator.ValueDiscriminator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, Discriminator, DiscriminatorXML

Direct Known Subclasses:

DateValueDiscriminator, NumberValueDiscriminator, StringValueDiscriminator
```
public abstract class ValueDiscriminator
extends java.lang.Object
implements DiscriminatorXML
```
Abstract Discriminator for a rule that applies based on a comparison of two values. Concrete subclasses of this class specify the kind of value and how the value from the DataView must relate to this value for the DiscriminatorRule to apply. For example, a NumberValueDiscriminator can specify that a DiscriminatorRule should apply to data values greater than 500,000.
This class defines constants for the following relational operators: =, <, <=, >, >=, >, and !=. This class is abstract because it does not define the applies method from the Discriminator interface. Discriminators that extend this class must implement the method.
