      • universalIdEqualWith

        public static <E extends GenericMetaDataEvent<?,?>> EventMatcher<E> universalIdEqualWith​(java.lang.String aUid)
        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:
        aUid - The UID to be compared with a GenericMetaDataEvent's EventMetaData's UID property.

      • actionEqualWith

        public static <E extends GenericActionMetaDataEvent<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.
        Parameters:
        aAction - The action to be compared with a GenericMetaDataEvent's EventMetaData's action property.
        Returns:
