Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	accept(ConstraintVisitor constraintVisitor) Accepts a ConstraintVisitor so that it may travers a constraint hierarchy.
Operator	getOperator() Gets the operator which defines whether.
boolean	isNegated() Gets whether or not this constraint has been negated.
void	negate() Negates the constraint.
void	setOperator(Operator operator) Sets the operator for this constraint.

Method Detail

getOperator

Operator getOperator()

Gets the operator which defines whether.

Returns:

the operation used by this constraint.

setOperator

void setOperator(Operator operator)

Sets the operator for this constraint. The operator defines whether this constraint is combined with other constraints as an AND or an OR.

Parameters:

operator - And Operator or Or Operator.

negate

void negate()

Negates the constraint.

isNegated

boolean isNegated()

Gets whether or not this constraint has been negated.

Returns:

true if the constraint has been negated, false otherwise.

accept

void accept(ConstraintVisitor constraintVisitor)

Accepts a ConstraintVisitor so that it may travers a constraint hierarchy.

Parameters:
