    public interface ContributionModel
    Model of a contribution. A model is an object representing the business abstraction of a concrete type of contribution. It provides an interface to access in a more generic way the different business properties of the represented contribution without having to be explicitly known. Business properties mean here the whole interface describing the behaviour of the object.

    • Method Detail

      • filterByType

        Filter<Class<?>,​Object> filterByType​(String property,
                                           Object... parameters)
        Applies a filter on the type of the value of the specified business property. If the property value is null, then no filtering is applied.

        This method is useful to apply a specific treatment according to the type of the property (in the case the property can be of different type or the property represents a more generic business concept that can have different types according to the business context).

        Parameters:
        property - the name of a business property of the represented contribution.
        parameters - some parameters useful for property value computation.
        Returns:
        a filter by the type of the property.

        <T> T getProperty​(String property,
                  Object... parameters)
