Method Detail

getMatchAction

MultiValuedFilter.MatchAction getMatchAction()

* Flag Controlling MatchAction property When one or more of the operands evaluates to multiple values rather than a single value, which action should be taken? If there are n values for the left operand and m values for the right operand, there are n * m possible combinations that can be compared,

ANY - if any of the possible combinations match, the result is true (aggregated OR) ALL - only if all of the possible combinations match, the result is true (aggregated AND) ONE - only if exactly one of the possible combinations match, the result is true (aggregated XOR)

Returns:

MatchAction flag
