Member Function Documentation

◆ getType()

String eu.baltrad.beast.rules.IRule.getType ( )

A description on what type of rule this is, e.g.

static, groovy, etc...

Returns: the type

◆ handle()

IBltMessage eu.baltrad.beast.rules.IRule.handle ( IBltMessage message )

Handle this message.

If returning a message it means that this rule has evaluated to true and the message should be managed. Otherwise, if null is returned, the rule has either managed the message or it can not handle the message.

Parameters

message

Returns: a message or null

◆ isValid()

boolean eu.baltrad.beast.rules.IRule.isValid ( )

Returns if this rule is valid or not.

Even if a rule is deemed to be invalid, it will not prevent the rule from beeing invoked it is just a way to indicate that there might be a problem with the rule it self. So a suggested approach is that if isValid() returns false, then handle() probably also should return null.

Returns: if this rule is valid or not
