Class AtomTypeCondition

java.lang.Object
  org.hypergraphdb.query.AtomTypeCondition

All Implemented Interfaces:

HGAtomPredicate, HGQueryCondition

public class AtomTypeCondition
extends java.lang.Object
implements HGQueryCondition, HGAtomPredicate

An AtomTypeCondition examines the type of a given atom and evaluates to true or false depending on whether the type of the atom matches exactly (i.e. has the same type handle) as that of the condition. Note that this condition looks at the concrete type of the atom and ignores and sub-typing relationships.

The type can be specified either as a HyperGraph handle or as a Java class. In the latter, the corresponding HyperGraph will be retrieved at appropriate times.
