Method Detail

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue()
Get the value associated with this constraint. Overrides Constraint.getValue()
Overrides:
getValue in class Constraint
Returns:
Object value associated with this constraint

matches

public boolean matches(Constraint c)
Determine whether this Constraint matches another.
Overrides:
matches in class Constraint
Parameters:
c - Constraint to be matched against this
Returns:
true if the two constraints are of the same type and have identical fields except for their flags, else false.

OneStep serialization String of this constraint

getConstraintSubType

public java.lang.String getConstraintSubType()
Determine subType representation of the non-range inequality constraints
Overrides:
getConstraintSubType in class Constraint
Returns:
prefix, the values to return is: "ssl", "ssr", "ss", "eq"

newInstance

public static Constraint newInstance(java.lang.String state)
                              throws ArgumentError
