Package org.geotools.api.filter

Class IncludeFilter

Object

IncludeFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Filter

public final class IncludeFilter
extends Object
implements Filter, Serializable

Indicating "no filtering", evaluates to true. This is a placeholder filter intended to be used in data structuring definition.

• INCLUDE or Filter ==> INCLUDE
• INCLUDE and Filter ==> Filter
• not INCLUDE ==> EXCLUDE

The above does imply that the OR opperator can short circuit on encountering NONE.
