Interface CompositeSortComponentsStep<S extends CompositeSortComponentsStep<?>>

  • Type Parameters:
    S - The "self" type (the actual exposed type of this step).
    All Superinterfaces:
    SortFinalStep, SortThenStep

    public interface CompositeSortComponentsStep<S extends CompositeSortComponentsStep<?>>
    extends SortFinalStep, SortThenStep
    The initial and final step in a composite sort definition, where sort elements can be added.

    This is only used in "explicit" composite sorts, for example when calling SearchSortFactory.composite(), but not in "implicit" composite sorts such as when calling SortThenStep.then().

      • add

        default S add​(SortFinalStep dslFinalStep)
        Add an element to the composite sort based on an almost-built SearchSort.
        Parameters:
