Class LazyFilterFeatureHolder

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    FeatureHolder, Changeable

    public class LazyFilterFeatureHolder
    extends Object
    implements FeatureHolder
    FeatureHolder which lazily applies a specified filter to another FeatureHolder. This means that when you use a second filter to query the LazyFilterFeatureHolder, the underlying holder receives a single filter request with the two queries ANDed together.

    • Method Detail

      • countFeatures

        public int countFeatures()
        Description copied from interface: FeatureHolder
        Count how many features are contained.
        Specified by:
        countFeatures in interface FeatureHolder
        Returns:
        a positive integer or zero, equal to the number of features contained
      • filter

        public FeatureHolder filter​(FeatureFilter ff)
        Description copied from interface: FeatureHolder
        Query this set of features using a supplied FeatureFilter.
        Specified by:
        filter in interface FeatureHolder
        Parameters:
        ff - the FeatureFilter to apply.
        Returns:
        all features in this container which match filter.
      • filter

        public FeatureHolder filter​(FeatureFilter ff,
                                    boolean recurse)
        Description copied from interface: FeatureHolder
        Return a new FeatureHolder that contains all of the children of this one that passed the filter fc. This method is scheduled for deprecation. Use the 1-arg filter instead.
        Specified by:
        filter in interface FeatureHolder
        Parameters:
        ff - the FeatureFilter to apply
        recurse - true if all features-of-features should be scanned, and a single flat collection of features returned, or false if just immediate children should be filtered.
      • isUnchanging

        public boolean isUnchanging​(ChangeType ct)
        Description copied from interface: Changeable

        A particular ChangeType can never be raised by this Changeable.

        If this returns true, then it is guaranteed that change events of this type (and all child types) can never under any circumstances be fired by this Changeable instance. If it returns false, that does not mean that this type of event will or even can be raised, but that it is worth registering listeners incase.

        Specified by:
        isUnchanging in interface Changeable
        Parameters:
        ct - the ChangeType to check
        Returns:
        true if ChangeEvents of this type are guaranteed to never be fired
      • getSchema

        public FeatureFilter getSchema()
        Description copied from interface: FeatureHolder
        Return a schema-filter for this FeatureHolder. This is a filter which all Features immediately contained by this FeatureHolder will match. It need not directly match their child features, but it can (and should!) provide information about them using FeatureFilter.OnlyChildren filters. In cases where there is no feature hierarchy, this can be indicated by including FeatureFilter.leaf in the schema filter.

        For the truly non-informative case, it is possible to return FeatureFilter.all. However, it is almost always possible to provide slightly more information that this. For example, Sequence objects should, at a minimum, return FeatureFilter.top_level. Feature objects should, as a minimum, return FeatureFilter.ByParent(new FeatureFilter.ByFeature(this)).

        Specified by:
        getSchema in interface FeatureHolder
        Returns:
        the schema filter
