Interface PropertyIsLike

All Superinterfaces:

Filter

@XmlElement(value="PropertyIsLike")
public interface PropertyIsLike
extends Filter

Filter operator that performs the equivalent of the SQL "like" operator on properties of a feature. The PropertyIsLike element is intended to encode a character string comparison operator with pattern matching. The pattern is defined by a combination of regular characters, the wildCard character, the singleChar character, and the escape character. The wildCard character matches zero or more characters. The singleChar character matches exactly one character. The escape character is used to escape the meaning of the wildCard, singleChar and escape itself.

Since:

GeoAPI 2.0
