Interface QueryExp

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

ObjectName

public interface QueryExp

extends java.io.Serializable

Represents relational constraints that can be used in database query "where clauses". Instances of QueryExp are returned by the static methods of the Query class.

It is possible, but not recommended, to create custom queries by implementing this interface. In that case, it is better to extend the QueryEval class than to implement the interface directly, so that the setMBeanServer(javax.management.MBeanServer) method works correctly.

Method Summary

boolean	apply(ObjectName name) Applies the QueryExp on an MBean.
void	setMBeanServer(MBeanServer s) Sets the MBean server on which the query is to be performed.
