lucas theisen commented on DIRAPI-165:
--------------------------------------
I would probably throw an {{IllegalArgumentException}} in the empty array case.
What you have is _nicer_ but if they really did provide an empty list to a
{{startsWith}, its a REALLY good chance they made a mistake. You could enforce
it compile time with a:
{code}
public static SubstringFilter startswith( String attribute, String init,
String... parts )
{code}
but I would not do that because there would be no way to ensure this for
{{endsWith}} and I like the idea of all of them having the same argument list.
I think fail fast with the exception would be best. Finally, you probably
meant to camelCase {{startsWith}}...

> 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.
