Interface IParameterizedConstraintParser

All Superinterfaces:

IConstraintParser

public interface IParameterizedConstraintParser
extends IConstraintParser

Interface implemented by an object that knows how to construct constraint implementations from IParameterizedConstraintDescriptors. The parser is associated with a particular constraint language that is supports, and for which it defines the set of parameters available to configure the constraint.

Since:

1.1

Method Summary

IModelConstraint

parseConstraint(IParameterizedConstraintDescriptor descriptor) Parses the content of a constraint descriptor (including parameters) to create an implementation of the model constraint interface.

parseConstraint

IModelConstraint parseConstraint(IParameterizedConstraintDescriptor descriptor)
                                 throws ConstraintParserException

Parses the content of a constraint descriptor (including parameters) to create an implementation of the model constraint interface.

Parameters:

descriptor - the constraint descriptor containing the definition of a constraint, including any

Returns:

a constraint, if one can be created

Throws:
