Detailed Description

expression filtering notifications

A Filter represents a boolean expression to be evaluated against an Notification. It consists of a set of constraints. Each constraint poses a condition on an attribute of the Notification. A Filter can pose multiple constraints on the same attribute.

A Filter is implemented by means of a multimap<string, AttributeConstraint>, therefore a Filter can be manipulated using all the methods of a standard multimap. Two additional utility methods are provided to add constraints.
