Interface QualifierConditionable<E>

Type Parameters:
E - the extending element type, used for method chaining.
All Known Subinterfaces:
ComplexTypeConditionable<E>, DirectLink, EmptyComplexTypeConditionable<E>, IndirectLinkStepFromPart, IndirectLinkStepLinkPart, IndirectLinkStepToPart, ModelCreateFilterElement, ModelRemoveFilterElement, ModelUpdateFilterElement, QueryNode, QueryNodeRestrictions, ReachableSetStepFromPart, ReachableSetStepLinkPart, ReachableSetStepToPart
public interface QualifierConditionable<E>
Indicates that the extending element may have a qualifier condition.

This conditionable behavior can be either "positive match" (allow only elements with any of the qualifiers) or "negative match" (disallow elements with any of the qualifiers). This is controlled by the withQualifierMatchingStrategy(QualifierMatchingStrategy) flag.

By default, the strategy is set to "positive matching".
