All Implemented Interfaces:

RequestCondition<RequestConditionHolder>

public final class RequestConditionHolder
extends AbstractRequestCondition<RequestConditionHolder>

A holder for a RequestCondition useful when the type of the held request condition is not known ahead of time - e.g. custom condition.

An implementation of RequestCondition itself, a RequestConditionHolder decorates the held request condition allowing it to be combined and compared with other custom request conditions while ensuring type and null safety.
