Class ValueChangeEventFilter<V,E>

java.lang.Object
com.tangosol.util.filter.ValueChangeEventFilter<V,E>
All Implemented Interfaces:
ExternalizableLite, PortableObject, Filter<MapEvent<?,V>>, Serializable

public class ValueChangeEventFilter<V,E> extends Object implements Filter<MapEvent<?,V>>, ExternalizableLite, PortableObject
Filter which evaluates the content of a MapEvent values based on the specified value extractor. This filter evaluates to true only for update events that change the value of an extracted attribute.

Example: a filter that evaluates to true if there is an update to an Employee object that changes a value of the LastName property.

   new ValueChangeEventFilter("LastName");
