Interface CrawlableDatasetFilter

All Known Implementing Classes:

InvDatasetFeatureCollection.ScanFilter, LastModifiedLimitFilter, MultiSelectorFilter, RegExpMatchOnNameFilter, RegExpMatchOnPathFilter, WildcardMatchOnNameFilter, WildcardMatchOnPathFilter

public interface CrawlableDatasetFilter

A filter for CrawlableDatasets.

Instances of this interface may be passed to the CrawlableDataset.listDatasets(CrawlableDatasetFilter) method of the CrawlableDataset class.

Implementation note: The TDS framework (InvDatasetScan, etc) uses a public constructor with a single configuration Object argument to instantiate instances of a CrawlableDatasetFilter. If your implementation will not be used in the TDS framework, other constructors can be used.
