Method Detail

matchStateId

void matchStateId(Id stateId,
                boolean match)

Sets the state Id for this query.

Specified by:

matchStateId in interface OsidObjectQuery

Parameters:

stateId - a state Id

match - true for a positive match, false for a negative match

Throws:

NullArgumentException - stateId is null

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

clearStateIdTerms

void clearStateIdTerms()

Clears the state Id terms.

Specified by:

clearStateIdTerms in interface OsidObjectQuery

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

supportsStateQuery

boolean supportsStateQuery()

Tests if a StateQuery is available.

Specified by:

supportsStateQuery in interface OsidObjectQuery

Returns:

true if a state query is available, false otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getStateQuery

StateQuery getStateQuery()

Gets the query for a state. Multiple retrievals produce a nested OR term.

Specified by:

getStateQuery in interface OsidObjectQuery

Returns:

the state query

Throws:

UnimplementedException - supportsStateQuery() is false

Compliance:

optional - This method must be implemented if supportsStateQuery() is true.

matchAnyState

void matchAnyState(boolean match)

Specified by:

matchAnyState in interface OsidObjectQuery

Parameters:

match - true to match processes with any states, false to match processes with no states

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

clearStateTerms

void clearStateTerms()

Clears the state terms.

Specified by:

clearStateTerms in interface OsidObjectQuery
