Class RuleReference

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    PropertySource, Rule
    public class RuleReference
extends AbstractDelegateRule
    This class represents a Rule which is a reference to Rule defined in another RuleSet. All details of the Rule are delegated to the underlying referenced Rule, but those operations which modify overridden aspects of the rule are explicitly tracked. Modification operations which set a value to the current underlying value do not override.
