/**
* Predicate that compares the input object with the one stored in the predicate using a comparator.
* In addition, the comparator result can be evaluated in accordance to a supplied criterion value.
*
*
* In order to demonstrate the use of the predicate, the following variables are declared:
*
*
*
*
* Integer ONE = Integer.valueOf(1);
*
* Integer TWO = Integer.valueOf(2);
*
* Comparator comparator = new Comparator(){
*
* public int compare(Object first,Object second){
* return ((Integer) second) - ((Integer) first);
* }
*
* };
*
*
*
* Using the declared variables, the ComparatorPredicate
can be used used in the
* following way:
*
*
*
* ComparatorPredicate.comparatorPredicate(ONE, comparator).evaluate(TWO);
*
*
*
* The input variable TWO
in compared to the stored variable ONE
using
* the supplied comparator
. This is the default usage of the predicate and will return
* true
if the underlying comparator returns 0
. In addition to the default
* usage of the predicate, it is possible to evaluate the comparator's result in several ways. The
* following {@link Criterion} enumeration values are provided by the predicate:
*
*
*
* - EQUAL
* - GREATER
* - GREATER_OR_EQUAL
* - LESS
* - LESS_OR_EQUAL
*
*
*
* The following examples demonstrates how these constants can be used in order to manipulate the
* evaluation of a comparator result.
*
*
*
* ComparatorPredicate.comparatorPredicate(ONE, comparator,ComparatorPredicate.Criterion.GREATER).evaluate(TWO);
*
*
*
* The input variable TWO is compared to the stored variable ONE using the supplied comparator
* using the GREATER
evaluation criterion constant. This instructs the predicate to
* return true
if the comparator returns a value greater than 0
.
