All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, EOKeyValueArchiving, EOQualifierEvaluation, NSCoding, Serializable

public class ERXBetweenQualifier

extends EOKeyValueQualifier

implements EOQualifierEvaluation, Cloneable

The between qualifier allows qualification on an attribute that is between two values. This qualifier supports both in-memory and sql based qualification. The SQL generated is of the form: "FOO BETWEEN 1 AND 3" Note this qualifier supports qualifing against String, Number and NSTimestamp values.

Constructor Detail

ERXBetweenQualifier

public ERXBetweenQualifier(String aKey,
                           Object aMinimumValue,
                           Object aMaximumValue)

Creates a qualifier for a given key with a min and max value specified.

Parameters:

aKey - key to qualify against

aMinimumValue - minimum value of the key

aMaximumValue - maximum value of the key

Method Detail

key

public String key()

Gets the key to qualify against.

Returns:

qualifier key

setKey

public void setKey(String aValue)

Sets the qualification key.

Parameters:

aValue - for the qualification key.

minimumValue

public Object minimumValue()

Gets the minimum value.

Returns:

minimum value.

setMinimumValue

public void setMinimumValue(Object aValue)

Sets the minimum value.

Parameters:

aValue - new minimum value

maximumValue

public Object maximumValue()

Gets the maximum value.

Returns:

maximum value.

setMaximumValue

public void setMaximumValue(Object aValue)

Sets the maximum value.

Parameters:

aValue - new maximum value

addQualifierKeysToSet

public void addQualifierKeysToSet(NSMutableSet aSet)

Adds the qualification key of the qualifier to the given set.

Parameters:

aSet - to add the qualification key to.

qualifierWithBindings

public EOQualifier qualifierWithBindings(NSDictionary someBindings,
                                         boolean requiresAll)

Creates another qualifier after replacing the values of the bindings. Since this qualifier does not support qualifier binding keys a clone of the qualifier is returned.

Parameters:

someBindings - some bindings

requiresAll - tells if the qualifier requires all bindings

Returns:

clone of the current qualifier.

validateKeysWithRootClassDescription

public void validateKeysWithRootClassDescription(EOClassDescription aClassDescription)

This qualifier does not perform validation. This is a no-op method.

Parameters:

aClassDescription - to validation the qualifier keys against.

comparatorForObject

protected NSComparator comparatorForObject(Object anObject)

Determines the comparator to use for a given object based on the object's class.

Parameters:

anObject - to find the comparator for

Returns:

comparator to use when comparing objects of a given class.

evaluateWithObject

public boolean evaluateWithObject(Object anObject)

Compares an object to determine if it is within the between qualification of the current qualifier. This method is only used for in-memory qualification.

Specified by:

evaluateWithObject in interface EOQualifierEvaluation

Returns:

if the given object is within the boundries of the qualifier.

clone

public Object clone()

Implementation of the Clonable interface.

Returns:

clone of the qualifier
