jess
Class Pattern

java.lang.Object
  jess.Pattern

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, ConditionalElement, Visitable

public class Pattern
extends java.lang.Object
implements ConditionalElement, java.io.Serializable, Visitable

A Pattern represents a single conditional element on a rule LHS. A Pattern consists mainly of a two-dimensional array of Test1 structures. Each Test1 contains information about a specific characteristic of a slot.

Most users will not use this class directly, but you could use it to build rules directly in the Java language.
