Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
static final class	Filter.AndFilter<T>	A simple combinatorial filter that requires all inner filters to accept an element to be fulfilled.
static class	Filter.CombinedFilter<T>	Abstract definition for combinatorial filters.
static final class	Filter.EqualFilter<T>	Simple equality filter implementation.
static final class	Filter.ImpliesFilter<T>	A filter implementation accepting elements based on a logical consequence concept, i.e., it accepts an element, if the implication accepting the element is a consequence of the condition accepting it.
static final class	Filter.NotFilter<T>	A simple filter negating the single inner one.
static final class	Filter.OrFilter<T>	A simple combinatorial filter that requires one of the inner filters to accept an element to be fulfilled.
static interface	Filter.TypedFilter<T>	Extension to a filter definition that provides the element in question as type safe object, if the filter accepted it.
static final class	Filter.Util	Usage example

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
