public interface Eligible
This interface provides a mechanism for matching objects, using a filter on the object’s “kind” as criterion.

How the kind is represented depends completely on the class that implements this interface.

Every instance of a class that implement this interface must provide a default criterion (filter) that accepts the instance (though, of course, not only this particular instance). Formally: for every instance “obj” of Eligible, the expression obj.isEligibleFor(obj.getDefaultCrtiterion()) must return true.

The default criterion can therefore be interpreted as the representation of the kind of the object.

  • Method Details

    • isEligibleFor

      boolean isEligibleFor(Object criterion)
      Returns true if this Eligible is met by the provided criterion.
      Parameters:
      criterion - the criterion
      Returns:
      true if this meets the criterion

    • defaultCriterion

      Object defaultCriterion()
      Returns a sample criterion that this Eligible meets.
      Returns:
      the criterion
