public final class OnePredicate<T> extends AbstractQuantifierPredicate<T>

      predicates - the predicates to check, cloned, not null
      Returns:
      the one predicate
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the predicates array is null

    • onePredicate

      public static <T> Predicate<T> onePredicate(Predicate<? super T>... predicates)
      Factory to create the predicate.

      If the array is size zero, the predicate always returns false. If the array is size one, then that predicate is returned.

      Type Parameters:
      T - the type that the predicate queries
      Parameters:
      predicates - the predicates to check, cloned, not null
      Returns:
      the any predicate
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the predicates array is null
      NullPointerException - if any predicate in the array is null

      Parameters:
      object - the input object
      Returns:
      true if only one decorated predicate returns true
