Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRAPI-165:
------------------------------------------
The {{startswith()}} method would looks like that :
{code}
/**
* Create a SubstringFilter based on the filter elements. Such a filter
* has a form like <b>Attribute=initial*([any]*)*</b>. We don't expect any
* <em>final</em> String.
*
* @param attribute The AttributeType for this filter
* @param parts The parts that are the initial string and zero to N any
strings
* @return An instance of a SubstringFilter
*/
public static SubstringFilter startswith( String attribute, String... parts
)
{
if ( ( parts != null ) && ( parts.length > 0 ) )
{
if ( parts.length > 1 )
{
String[] any = new String[parts.length - 1];
System.arraycopy( parts, 1, any, 0, any.length );
return new SubstringFilter( attribute, parts[0], any, null );
}
else
{
return new SubstringFilter( attribute, parts[0], null, null );
}
}
else
{
// This is a presence filter, kind of
return new SubstringFilter( attribute, null, null, null );
}
}

> Looking for something Fluent, in the _spirit_ of Hibernate Criteria. May not
> seem like much, but can drastically reduce query syntax issues. Also, you
> would likely be using a StringBuilder anyway, so its not much different.
