public abstract class CoreObjectCriterion
extends SearchCriterion

A core object search criterion.

Core object search criteria match one or more core objects of some type. The classes all provide constructors of the following forms, where T is the core object type:

XxxCriterion (String... tags)

Creates a criterion from a vararg list or array of tags.

XxxCriterion (T... objs)

Creates a criterion from a vararg list or array of core objects.

XxxCriterion (Collection vals)

Creates a criterion from a collection of core objects and/or their tags.

An empty or "no-op" criterion that matches anything can be constructed with an empty array of tags, an emtpy array of objects, or an empty collection of values.
