MappingPredicate

A predicate that matches the given Path as the suffix of the context path.

Note that a Path corresponds to an initial type, followed by a sequence of field selectors. The type found by following the field selectors from the initial type determines the final type to which the predicate applies.

This predicate is thus a slightly more restrictive variant of PrefixedTypeMatch which will match in any context with the given path and final type, irrespective of the initial type.

In practice PathMatch is more convenient to use in most circumstances and should be preferred to PrefixedTypeMatch unless the semantics of the latter are absolutely required.

A predicate that matches a specific type with a given path prefix.

This predicate corresponds to the semantics of the PrefixedMapping in earlier releases.
