Package ai.timefold.solver.core.api.score.constraint

Class ConstraintMatch<Score_ extends Score<Score_>>

java.lang.Object

ai.timefold.solver.core.api.score.constraint.ConstraintMatch<Score_>

Type Parameters:

Score_ - the actual score type

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<ConstraintMatch<Score_>>

public final class ConstraintMatch<Score_ extends Score<Score_>>
extends Object
implements Comparable<ConstraintMatch<Score_>>

Retrievable from ConstraintMatchTotal.getConstraintMatchSet() and Indictment.getConstraintMatchSet().

This class implements Comparable for consistent ordering of constraint matches in visualizations. The details of this ordering are unspecified and are subject to change.

If possible, prefer using SolutionManager.analyze(Object) instead.

Method Details

getConstraintRef

public ConstraintRef getConstraintRef()

getConstraintPackage

@Deprecated(forRemoval=true,
            since="1.4.0")
public String getConstraintPackage()

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Prefer getConstraintRef() instead.

Returns:

maybe null

getConstraintName

@Deprecated(forRemoval=true,
            since="1.4.0")
public String getConstraintName()

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Prefer getConstraintRef() instead.

Returns:

never null

getConstraintId

@Deprecated(forRemoval=true,
            since="1.4.0")
public String getConstraintId()

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Prefer getConstraintRef() instead.

Returns:

never null

getJustificationList

@Deprecated(forRemoval=true)
public List<Object> getJustificationList()

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Prefer getJustification() or getIndictedObjectList().

Return a list of justifications for the constraint.

This method has a different meaning based on which score director the constraint comes from.

• For constraint streams, it returns a list of facts from the matching tuple for backwards compatibility (eg. [A, B] for a bi stream), unless a custom justification mapping was provided, in which case it throws an exception, pointing users towards getJustification().
• For incremental score calculation, it returns what the calculator is implemented to return.

Returns:

never null

getJustification

public <Justification_ extends ConstraintJustification>
Justification_ getJustification()

Return a singular justification for the constraint.

This method has a different meaning based on which score director the constraint comes from.

• For constraint streams, it returns DefaultConstraintJustification from the matching tuple (eg. [A, B] for a bi stream), unless a custom justification mapping was provided, in which case it returns the return value of that function.
• For incremental score calculation, it returns what the calculator is implemented to return.

Returns:

never null

getIndictedObjectList

public List<Object> getIndictedObjectList()

Returns a set of objects indicted for causing this constraint match.

This method has a different meaning based on which score director the constraint comes from.

• For constraint streams, it returns the facts from the matching tuple (eg. [A, B] for a bi stream), unless a custom indictment mapping was provided, in which case it returns the return value of that function.
• For incremental score calculation, it returns what the calculator is implemented to return.

Returns:

never null, may be empty or contain null
