or

@SafeVarargs
public static <E extends MetaDataEvent<?>> EventMatcher<E> or(EventMatcher<E>... aEventMatchers)

Factory method to create an "OR" matcher for the given matchers.

Type Parameters:

E - The event type applied to the matcher

Parameters:

aEventMatchers - The matchers to be combined by an "OR".

An "OR" matcher.

and

@SafeVarargs
public static <E extends MetaDataEvent<?>> EventMatcher<E> and(EventMatcher<E>... aEventMatchers)

Factory method to create an "AND" matcher for the given matchers.

Type Parameters:

E - The event type applied to the matcher

Parameters:

aEventMatchers - The matchers to be combined by an "AND".

Returns:

An "AND" matcher.

public static <E extends MetaDataEvent<?>> EventMatcher<E> nameEqualWith(String aName)

Factory method to create an "EQUAL WITH" matcher for the given name compared with the name stored in the EventMetaData.

Type Parameters:

E - The event type applied to the matcher

Parameters:

aName - The name to be compared with a MetaDataEvent's EventMetaData's name property.

Returns:

An "EQUAL WITH" matcher regarding the MetaDataEvent's name property.

public static <E extends MetaDataEvent<?>> EventMatcher<E> groupEqualWith(String aGroup)

Factory method to create an "EQUAL WITH" matcher for the given group compared with the group stored in the EventMetaData.

Type Parameters:

E - The event type applied to the matcher

Parameters:

aGroup - The group to be compared with a MetaDataEvent's EventMetaData's group property.

Returns:

An "EQUAL WITH" matcher regarding the MetaDataEvent's group property.

public static <E extends MetaDataEvent<?>> EventMatcher<E> universalIdEqualWith(String aUniversalId)

Factory method to create an "EQUAL WITH" matcher for the given UID compared with the UID stored in the EventMetaData.

Type Parameters:

E - The event type applied to the matcher

Parameters:

aUniversalId - The UID to be compared with a MetaDataEvent's EventMetaData's UID property.

Returns:

An "EQUAL WITH" matcher regarding the MetaDataEvent's UID property.

public static <E extends MetaDataActionEvent<A,?>,A> EventMatcher<E> actionEqualWith(A aAction)

Factory method to create an "EQUAL WITH" matcher for the given action compared with the action stored in the EventMetaData.

Type Parameters:

E - The event type applied to the matcher.

A - The type of the action stored in the event. CAUTION: The drawback of not using generic generic type declaration on a class level is no granted type safety, the advantage is the ease of use: Sub-classes can be used out of the box.
