java.lang.Object
  extended bycom.ibm.websphere.brb.implementor.RuleGreaterThanEqual
All Implemented Interfaces:
RuleImplementor

public class RuleGreaterThanEqual
extends java.lang.Object
implements RuleImplementor

Constraint type rule algorithm that returns a true ConstraintReturn if x >= a, where x arrives as a firing parameter and a is either provided as an initialization parameter or as a firing parameter.

Method Detail

fire

public java.lang.Object fire(TriggerPoint tp,
                             java.lang.Object target,
                             IRuleCopy rule,
                             java.lang.Object[] parms)
                      throws BusinessRuleBeansException
Returns a true ConstraintReturn if x >= b where x is always firing parameter[0] and b is either initialization parameter[0] or firing parameter[1]. Otherwise returns a false ConstraintReturn.

Specified by:
fire in interface RuleImplementor
Parameters:
tp - the trigger point which is firing this rule implementor.
target - the target object of the trigger point
rule - the rule that the implementor is running on behalf of
Returns:
The result of firing the rule implementor. Implementors that carry out classifications must return a single String. Implementors which check constraints should generally return a ConstraintReturn, especially if the results are to be combined and returned by the BRBeans framework.
Throws:
BusinessRuleBeansException

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()
The programmer's description of what the algorithm does.

Specified by:
getDescription in interface RuleImplementor
Returns:
A description of this rule implementor.

init

public void init(java.lang.Object[] parms,
                 java.lang.String[] dependentRules,
                 java.lang.String userDefinedData,
                 IRuleCopy rule)
          throws BusinessRuleBeansException
Initializes constants used by this rule. One initialization parameter can be passed: the lower bound. If no initialization parameters are supplied, the lower bound can be passed as a firing parameter.

Specified by:
init in interface RuleImplementor
Parameters:
parms - the parameters needed to initialize this RuleImplementor
dependentRules - the names of the dependent rules to this rule; if there are none, null is passed
userDefinedData - userDefinedData property from the Rule
rule - the Rule on whose behalf the rule implementor is running
Throws:
BusinessRuleBeansException
