/**
* Predicate that evaluates a property value against a specified value.
*
* An implementation of org.apache.commons.collections.Predicate that evaluates a
* property value on the object provided against a specified value and returns true
* if equal; false otherwise.
* The BeanPropertyValueEqualsPredicate constructor takes two parameters which
* determine what property will be evaluated on the target object and what its expected value should
* be.
*
* -
*
* public BeanPropertyValueEqualsPredicate( String propertyName, Object propertyValue )
*
*
* -
* Will create a
Predicate that will evaluate the target object and return
* true if the property specified by propertyName has a value which
* is equal to the the value specified by propertyValue. Or return
* false otherwise.
*
*
*
*
* Note: Property names can be a simple, nested, indexed, or mapped property as defined by
* org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils. If any object in the property path
* specified by propertyName is null then the outcome is based on the
* value of the ignoreNull attribute.
*
*
* A typical usage might look like:
*
* // create the closure
* BeanPropertyValueEqualsPredicate predicate =
* new BeanPropertyValueEqualsPredicate( "activeEmployee", Boolean.FALSE );
*
* // filter the Collection
* CollectionUtils.filter( peopleCollection, predicate );
*
*
* This would take a Collection of person objects and filter out any people whose
* activeEmployee property is false. Assuming...
*
* -
* The top level object in the
peeopleCollection is an object which represents a
* person.
*
* -
* The person object has a
getActiveEmployee() method which returns
* the boolean value for the object's activeEmployee property.
*
*
*
*
* Another typical usage might look like:
*
* // create the closure
* BeanPropertyValueEqualsPredicate predicate =
* new BeanPropertyValueEqualsPredicate( "personId", "456-12-1234" );
*
* // search the Collection
* CollectionUtils.find( peopleCollection, predicate );
*
*
* This would search a Collection of person objects and return the first object whose
* personId property value equals 456-12-1234. Assuming...
*
* -
* The top level object in the
peeopleCollection is an object which represents a
* person.
*
* -
* The person object has a
getPersonId() method which returns
* the value for the object's personId property.
