Method Details

select

public final void select(ObjectPredicate predicate,
 ObjectOperation operation)

Applies the predicate to this object. If the predicate returns true, pass this object to the operation, otherwise invoke the selectMembers(ObjectPredicate, ObjectOperation) method to locate sub-elements that might trigger the predicate.

Parameters:

predicate - component used to select (sub-)objects

operation - component performing some operation on the selected (sub-)objects

selectMembers

public void selectMembers(ObjectPredicate predicate,
 ObjectOperation operation)

Invokes select(ObjectPredicate, ObjectOperation) on any member objects this object wants to expose through the selection mechanism. Overriding this method is optional, and which objects to expose is determined by the application logic of the object itself.

Parameters:

predicate - component used to select (sub-)objects

operation - component performing some operation on the selected (sub-)objects

select

public static void select(Selectable selectable,
 ObjectPredicate predicate,
 ObjectOperation operation)
