public interface Filter<R> extends Predicate<R>
Identification of a subset of resources from a collection of resources whose property values satisfy a set of logically connected predicates.
Upcoming API change
This is a placeholder for a GeoAPI 3.1 interface not yet released. In a future version, all usages of this interface may be replaced by an interface of the same name but in the org.opengis.filter package instead of org.apache.sis.filter.

  • Method Details

    • include

      static <R> Filter<R> include()
      A filter that always evaluates to true.
      Type Parameters:
      R - the type of resources to filter.
      Returns:
      the "no filtering" filter.

    • exclude

      static <R> Filter<R> exclude()
      A filter that always evaluates to false.
      Type Parameters:
      R - the type of resources to filter.
      Returns:
      the "exclude all" filter.

    • getOperatorType

      Enum<?> getOperatorType()
      Returns the nature of the operator.
      Returns:
      the nature of this operator.

    • getExpressions

      List<Expression<? super R, ?>> getExpressions()
      Returns the expressions used as arguments for this filter.
      Returns:
      the expressions used as inputs, or an empty list if none.

    • test

      boolean test(R object)
      Given an object, determines if the test(s) represented by this filter are passed.
      Specified by:
      test in interface Predicate<R>
      Parameters:
      object - the object (often a Feature instance) to evaluate.
      Returns:
      true if the test(s) are passed for the provided object.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if object is null.
      IllegalArgumentException - if the filter can not be applied on the given object.
