Interface FilterFactoryOperations

All Known Subinterfaces:

FilterFactory

public interface FilterFactoryOperations

The FilterFactory interface defines operations for creating filter objects.

Method Summary

Filter	create_filter(java.lang.String constraint_grammar) The create_filter operation is responsible for creating a new forwarding filter object.
MappingFilter	create_mapping_filter(java.lang.String constraint_grammar, Any default_value) The create_mapping_filter operation is responsible for creating a new mapping filter object.

Method Detail

create_mapping_filter

MappingFilter create_mapping_filter(java.lang.String constraint_grammar,
                                    Any default_value)
                                    throws InvalidGrammar

The create_mapping_filter operation is responsible for creating a new mapping filter object.

Parameters:

constraint_grammar - A string parameter, which identifies the grammar in which constraints associated with this filter will have meaning.

default_value - An Any which will be set as the default_value of the newly created mapping filter.

Returns:

The reference to an object supporting the MappingFilter interface, which can subsequently be configured to support constraints in the appropriate grammar, along with their associated mapping values.

Throws:

InvalidGrammar - If the client invoking this operation supplies as input the name of a grammar that is not supported by any mapping filter implementation this factory is capable of creating.

create_filter

Filter create_filter(java.lang.String constraint_grammar)
                     throws InvalidGrammar

The create_filter operation is responsible for creating a new forwarding filter object.

Parameters:

constraint_grammar - A string parameter which identifies the grammar in which constraints associated with this filter will have meaning.

Returns:

The reference to an object supporting the Filter interface, which can subsequently be configured to support constraints in the appropriate grammar.

Throws:

InvalidGrammar - If the client invoking this operation supplies as input the name of a grammar that is not supported by any forwarding filter implementation this factory is capable of creating.
