Matches (Interlok Core/Base)

java.lang.Object
- com.adaptris.core.services.conditional.operator.Matches

All Implemented Interfaces:

Operator
```
@ComponentProfile(summary="Tests that a configured value matches the supplied value.",
                  tag="conditional,operator")
public class Matches
extends java.lang.Object
implements Operator
```
This Operator simply tests two values for using String.matches(String).

The first value used in the equality test is the Condition that this Operator is configured for; which could be the message payload or a metadata item for example.
The second value is the static value configured for this operator.

The static value can be a literal value; "myValue" or can be metadata resolved for example;
```
  %message{myKey}
 
```
The above will test the metadata value identified by the metadata key "myKey".
In the adapter configuration file this class is aliased as matches which is the preferred alternative to the fully qualified classname when building your configuration.
