org.geotools.filter
Class ConstantExpression

java.lang.Object
  org.geotools.filter.ConstantExpression

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, Expression, ExpressionType, LiteralExpression

public class ConstantExpression

extends java.lang.Object

implements LiteralExpression, java.lang.Cloneable

The Expression class is not immutable!

However we do have a need for immutable literal expressions when defining our API for SLD, and any other standards based on Expression.

Method Detail

setLiteral

public void setLiteral(java.lang.Object literal)
                throws IllegalFilterException

Description copied from interface: LiteralExpression

Sets the literal.

Specified by:

setLiteral in interface LiteralExpression

Parameters:

literal - The literal to store inside this expression.

Throws:

IllegalFilterException - This literal type is not in scope.

getValue

public java.lang.Object getValue(Feature feature)

Description copied from interface: LiteralExpression

Gets the value of this literal.

Specified by:

getValue in interface LiteralExpression

Parameters:

feature - Required by the interface but not used.

Returns:

the literal held by this expression. Ignores the passed in feature.

getType

public short getType()

Description copied from interface: LiteralExpression

Returns the literal type.

Specified by:

getType in interface LiteralExpression

Returns:

the short representation of the literal expression type.

getLiteral

public java.lang.Object getLiteral()

Description copied from interface: LiteralExpression

Retrieves the literal of this expression.

Specified by:

getLiteral in interface LiteralExpression

Returns:

the literal held by this expression.

accept

public void accept(FilterVisitor visitor)

Description copied from interface: Expression

Used by FilterVisitors to perform some action on this filter instance. Typicaly used by Filter decoders, but may also be used by any thing which needs infomration from filter structure. Implementations should always call: visitor.visit(this); It is importatant that this is not left to a parent class unless the parents API is identical.

Specified by:

accept in interface Expression

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor which requires access to this filter, the method must call visitor.visit(this);

clone

protected java.lang.Object clone()
                          throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

color

public static ConstantExpression color(java.awt.Color color)

Encode provided color as a String

constant

public static ConstantExpression constant(double number)

constant

public static ConstantExpression constant(int number)

constant

public static ConstantExpression constant(java.lang.Object value)
