This is an abstract super type of the Filters defined by the Filter specification; you are not free to define your
own filters. For extensibility please explore the definition of your own Function
.
Often a filter is used to to define a set feature instances that are to be operated upon. The operating set can be comprised of one or more enumerated features or a set of features defined by specifying spatial and non-spatial constraints on the geometric and scalar properties of a feature type.
Roughly speaking, a filter encodes the information present in the WHERE
clause of a SQL statement. There
are various subclasses of this class that implement many types of filters, such as simple property comparisons or
spatial queries.
The second use of Filter focuses on expressing constraints (or Facets). This use places restrictions on the allowable and is captured as part of schema information (@linkplain FeatureType). This is similar to the XML concept of "facets".

Placeholder Filter that evaulates totrue
.Filtering a set with
Filter.INCLUDE
results in the origional set. -

Method Details
-
evaluate
Give an object, this method determines if the test(s) represented by this filter object are passed.This ability is used to allow Queries against both Features and and non spatial data (such as Record) and to express constraints on permissable data values.
- Returns:
true if the test(s) are passed for the provided object
-
accept
Accepts a visitor.Implementations of all subinterfaces must have with a method whose content is the following:
return visitor.visit(this, extraData);
