Class EqualityValidation

Object

DefaultFeatureValidation

EqualityValidation

All Implemented Interfaces:

FeatureValidation, Validation

public class EqualityValidation
extends DefaultFeatureValidation

Tests to see if an attribute is equal to a provided value.

I can only see this test being useful if a Filter is also used. Online research shows that this test is used in the wild, so we are adding it into our system.
