Constructor Detail

RelOpClause

protected RelOpClause(int operator,
                      SubClause lhs,
                      List rhs)
               throws SDODSException

Creates a new RelOpClause. If the lhs and all the elements of the rhs are constant, the RelOpClause will be flagged as constant, and evaluated immediately.

Parameters:

operator - The operator invoked by the clause

lhs - The left-hand side of the comparison.

rhs - A list of SubClauses representing the right-hand side of the comparison.

Throws:

SDODSException - Thrown if the clause is constant, but the attempt to evaluate it fails.

Method Detail

getValue

public boolean getValue()

Description copied from interface: TopLevelClause

Returns the current value of the clause. The value of non-constant Clauses is undefined until the evaluate() method has been called.

Specified by:

getValue in interface TopLevelClause

evaluate

public boolean evaluate()
                 throws SDODSException

Description copied from interface: TopLevelClause

Evaluates the clause, first calling evaluate() on any sub-clauses it contains. Implementations of this method should flag the clause as "defined" if the evaluation is successful.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface TopLevelClause

Throws:

SDODSException - Thrown if the evaluation fails for any reason.

getLHS

public SubClause getLHS()

Returns a SubClause representing the right-hand side of the comparison.

getRHS

public List getRHS()

Returns a list of SubClauses representing the right-hand side of the comparison.

getOperator

public int getOperator()

Returns the type of comparison

toString

public String toString()
