Interface DocumentFilter<DocType extends Document>

public interface DocumentFilter<DocType extends Document>

Generic repository document search filter.

A document repository contains documents. A repository reader can searhc for documents within the repository, based on some kind of searching criteria. This criteria could be implemented as a simple text string, or it could be a more complex object type such as an expression tree. The criteria could also be implemented as a document search filter, which is a subtype that implements this interface.

Subtypes implementing this interface may be passed as parameters to the RepositoryReader.findDocuments() method.

Note: This requires Java 1.5 or later.
