An AttributeQualification encapsulates a condition on a Attribute. We support conditions on both single-valued & multi-valued attributes. Currently we only support the comparison operators <, <=, >, >=, =, <> . Additionally we support checks on null and the 'LIKE' operator only for Strings.
An AttributeQualification is specified by a AttributeName, Class, operator, and a Comparison Value. Additionally for date Attributes we support a Date Comparison Level, which allows users to specify how dates are compared. For e.g. sometimes it is useful to only compare the years or only the year and months etc. Most Attribute names have java constants in the java classes corresponding to the class object they belong to. ID and CLASSID attributes are an exception to that rule. Use those strings directly as attribute names, to search based on ID and CLASSID.
Roughly, an AttributeQualification on a Single-Value Attribute translates to the SQL condition Class.Attr 'oper' value. While on a Multi_value Attribute it translates to, exists (select list of Class.Attr values where Attr.value 'oper' value)
Currently, for Multi-Value Attributes Clients can check whether a particular condition holds for the list of values. For e.g. if the client setups an AttributeQualifier for a MultiValue Attribute 'X' with the operator set to > and value 123;the ResultObjects of the search, will contain at least one 'X' value which is greater than 123. This covers the most common query about containment i.e. most often users want to check if a particular value is in the list of values. Hence for Multi Value Attributes the Specified search value is always treated as a Single-Value.
```
 
 // 
 // Usage examples
 //
 // Simple String attribute, case ignored
 // Name = 'Foo' condition
 //
 AttributeQualification aq1 = new AttributeQualification();
 aq1.setAttribute(PublicObject.NAME_ATTRIBUTE);
 aq1.setOperatorType(AttributeQualification.EQUAL);
 aq1.setValue("Foo");
 aq1.setCaseIgnored(true);
 //
 // String attribute, late bound
 // Name = ? condition. 
 //
 AttributeQualification aq1 = new AttributeQualification();
 aq1.setAttribute(PublicObject.NAME_ATTRIBUTE);
 aq1.setOperatorType(AttributeQualification.EQUAL);
 aq1.setValue(SearchQualification.LATE_BIND_OPER);
 //
 // Date attribute
 // CreateDate < today condition
 //
 AttributeQualification aq1 = new AttributeQualification();
 aq1.setAttribute(PublicObject.CREATEDATE_ATTRIBUTE);
 aq1.setOperatorType(AttributeQualification.LESS_THAN);
 Date today = new Date();
 AttribuetValue av = AttributeValue.newAttributeValue(today);
 aq1.setValue(av, session);    // session required for Date attribute
 aq1.setDateComparisionLevel(AttributeQualification.DATE_COMP_DAY);
 //
 // Object type Attribute, Eg. ACL
 // Condition - ACL = Public
 //
 AttributeQualification aq1 = new AttributeQualification();
 aq1.setAttribute(PublicObject.ACL_ATTRIBUTE);
 aq1.setOperatorType(AttributeQualification.EQUAL);
 AccessControlList publicAcl; // Let's assume this represents PUBLIC acl
 AttribuetValue av = AttributeValue.newAttributeValue(publicAcl);
 aq1.setValue(av);

```
    Gets the String corresponding to the integer operator. If the operator is not valid, it throws an exception.
    
    Parameters:
    
    operator - integer representing the operator; must be one of AttributeQualification.EQUAL , AttributeQualification.GREATER_THAN , AttributeQualification.GREATER_THAN_EQUAL , AttributeQualification.IS_NOT_NULL , AttributeQualification.IS_NULL , AttributeQualification.LESS_THAN , AttributeQualification.LESS_THAN_EQUAL , AttributeQualification.LIKE

    Parameters:
    
    value - comparison value
    
    (Published)
  - setValue
```
public void setValue(AttributeValue av)
              throws IfsException
```
    Sets the comparison value. Calls setValue(av, null)
    
    Parameters:
    
    av - the comparison value specified as an AttrbuteValue
    
    Throws:
    
    IfsException
    
    See Also:

```
public void setValue(AttributeValue av,
                     LibrarySession sess)
              throws IfsException

    Sets the comparison Value. The specified value must be a scalar type, and it cannot be null.
    Supplied attribute value is used to generate a appropriate query at search execution time. For Dates if the session is null, an exception will be thrown, because a Locale is needed to convert dates to Strings.
    
    Parameters:
    
    av - the comparison Value as an AttributeValue
    
    sess - the LibrarySession to use for converting values to strings.
