• getMatchingStrategy

  <T> AttributeMatchingStrategy<T> getMatchingStrategy​(Attribute<T> attribute)
                                                throws IllegalArgumentException

  Returns the matching strategy for a given attribute.

  <T> AttributeMatchingStrategy<T> attribute​(Attribute<T> attribute,
                                             Action<? super AttributeMatchingStrategy<T>> configureAction)

  Configures the matching strategy for an attribute. The first call to this method for a specific attribute will create a new matching strategy, whereas subsequent calls will configure the existing one.

  Type Parameters:

  T - the concrete type of the attribute

  Parameters:

  attribute - the attribute for which to configure the matching strategy

  configureAction - the strategy configuration

  Returns:

  the configured strategy

• getAttributes

  Set<Attribute<?>> getAttributes()

  Returns the set of attributes known to this schema.

• hasAttribute

  boolean hasAttribute​(Attribute<?> key)

  Returns true when this schema contains the given attribute.

• attributeDisambiguationPrecedence

  @Incubating
  void attributeDisambiguationPrecedence​(Attribute<?>... attributes)

• setAttributeDisambiguationPrecedence

  @Incubating
  void setAttributeDisambiguationPrecedence​(Collection<Attribute<?>> attributes)

  7.5

• getAttributeDisambiguationPrecedence

  @Incubating
  Collection<Attribute<?>> getAttributeDisambiguationPrecedence()
