Method Details

asConstraint

default Constraint asConstraint(String constraintName)

Builds a Constraint from the constraint stream. The constraint package defaults to the package of the PlanningSolution class. The constraint will be placed in the default constraint group.

Parameters:

constraintName - never null, shows up in ConstraintMatchTotal during score justification

Returns:

never null

asConstraintDescribed

default Constraint asConstraintDescribed(String constraintName,
 String constraintDescription)

Builds a Constraint from the constraint stream. The constraint package defaults to the package of the PlanningSolution class. The constraint will be placed in the default constraint group.

Parameters:

constraintName - never null, shows up in ConstraintMatchTotal during score justification

constraintDescription - never null

Returns:

never null

asConstraintDescribed

Constraint asConstraintDescribed(String constraintName,
 String constraintDescription,
 String constraintGroup)

Builds a Constraint from the constraint stream. The constraint package defaults to the package of the PlanningSolution class.

Parameters:

constraintName - never null, shows up in ConstraintMatchTotal during score justification

constraintDescription - never null

constraintGroup - never null, only allows alphanumeric characters, "-" and "_"

Returns:

never null

asConstraint

@Deprecated(forRemoval=true,
            since="1.13.0")
Constraint asConstraint(String constraintPackage,
 String constraintName)

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

Constraint package should no longer be used, use asConstraint(String) instead.

Builds a Constraint from the constraint stream.

Parameters:

constraintName - never null, shows up in ConstraintMatchTotal during score justification

constraintPackage - never null

Returns:

never null
