Interface FilterConditionContainer

All Superinterfaces:

FilterConditionNode, TreeNode

All Known Subinterfaces:

ConditionContainer, FilterContainer

public interface FilterConditionContainer
extends FilterConditionNode

Warning: This interface is no longer functional from the SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 release onwards.

The FilterConditionContainer interface holds several FilterConditionObjects and/or more FilterConditionContainers. All children are combined by a logical operator.

Example:

+- FilterConditionContainer(OR)
    |
    +- FilterConditionObject(revenue less than 1000000)
    |
    +- FilterConditionContainer(AND)
        |
        +- FilterConditionObject(year equal to 2002)
        |
        +- FilterConditionObject(holiday period)

corresponds to:

[revenue less than 1000000] OR ([year equal to 2002] AND [holiday period])
