getOperator
Predicate.BooleanOperator getOperator()Return the boolean operator for the predicate. If the predicate is simple, this isAND
.- Returns:
- boolean operator for the predicate
-
isNegated
boolean isNegated()Whether the predicate has been created from another predicate by applyingnot()
or by callingCriteriaBuilder.not(jakarta.persistence.criteria.Expression<java.lang.Boolean>)
.- Returns:
- boolean indicating if the predicate is a negated predicate
-
