getEvaluator(ValueType type,
String operatorId,
boolean isNegated,
String parameterText,
EvaluatorDefinition.Target leftTarget,
EvaluatorDefinition.Target rightTarget)
Returns the evaluator instance for the given type and the
defined parameterText
|
String[] |
getEvaluatorIds()
Returns the list of identifies this
evaluator implementation supports
|
EvaluatorDefinition.Target |
getTarget()
There are evaluators that operate on *fact* attributes,
evaluators that operate on *fact handle* attributes, and
evaluators that operate on both.
|
boolean |
isNegatable()
My apologies to English speakers if the word "negatable" does not
exist. :)
This method returns true if this evaluator supports negation.
|
boolean |
supportsType(ValueType type)
Returns true in case this evaluator supports operations over values
of that specific type.

type
- the type of the attributes this evaluator will
operate on. This is important because the evaluator
may do optimisations and type coercion based on the
types it is evaluating. It is also possible that
this evaluator does not support a given type.operatorId
- the string identifier of the evaluatorisNegated
- true if the evaluator instance to be returned is
the negated version of the evaluator.parameterText
- some evaluators support parameters and these
parameters are defined as a String that is
parsed by the evaluator itself.leftTarget
- the target of the evaluator on the Left side,
i.e., on Rete terms, the previous binding or
the actual value on the right side of the operator.rightTarget
- the target of the evaluator on the Right side,
i.e., on Rete terms, the current pattern field.Evaluator getEvaluator(ValueType type, String operatorId, boolean isNegated, String parameterText)
