Method Detail

extractScore

Score extractScore()

boolean isConstraintMatchEnabled()

Must be in sync with ScoreDirector.isConstraintMatchEnabled() for the ScoreDirector which contains this ScoreHolder.

Defaults to true.

Returns:

false if the ConstraintMatchs and ConstraintMatchTotals do not need to be collected which is a performance boost
