Constructor Detail

AllPredicate

public AllPredicate(Predicate[] predicates)
Constructor that performs no validation. Use getInstance if you want that.

Parameters:
predicates - the predicates to check, not cloned, not null
Method Detail

getInstance

public static Predicate getInstance(Predicate[] predicates)
Factory to create the predicate.

If the array is size zero, the predicate always returns true. If the array is size one, then that predicate is returned.

Parameters:
predicates - the predicates to check, cloned, not null
Returns:
the all predicate
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the predicates array is null
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any predicate in the array is null

getInstance

public static Predicate getInstance(java.util.Collection predicates)
Factory to create the predicate.

If the collection is size zero, the predicate always returns true. If the collection is size one, then that predicate is returned.

Parameters:
predicates - the predicates to check, cloned, not null
Returns:
the all predicate
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the predicates array is null
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any predicate in the array is null

evaluate

public boolean evaluate(java.lang.Object object)
Evaluates the predicate returning true if all predicates return true.

Specified by:
evaluate in interface Predicate
Parameters:
object - the input object
Returns:
true if all decorated predicates return true

getPredicates

public Predicate[] getPredicates()
Gets the predicates, do not modify the array.

Specified by:
getPredicates in interface PredicateDecorator
Returns:
the predicates
