EvaluatorFilter (The Adobe Experience Manager SDK 2020.8.4119.20200827T010735Z-200827)

java.lang.Object
- ch.qos.logback.core.spi.ContextAwareBase
- - ch.qos.logback.core.filter.Filter<E>
  - - ch.qos.logback.core.filter.AbstractMatcherFilter<E>
    - - ch.qos.logback.core.filter.EvaluatorFilter<E>

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContextAware, LifeCycle
```
public class EvaluatorFilter<E>
extends AbstractMatcherFilter<E>
```
The value of the AbstractMatcherFilter.onMatch and AbstractMatcherFilter.onMismatch attributes is set to FilterReply.NEUTRAL, so that a badly configured evaluator filter does not disturb the functioning of the filter chain.
It is expected that one of the two attributes will have its value changed to FilterReply.ACCEPT or FilterReply.DENY. That way, it is possible to decide if a given result must be returned after the evaluation either failed or succeeded.
For more information about filters, please refer to the online manual at http://logback.qos.ch/manual/filters.html

    Description copied from class: Filter
    
    If the decision is FilterReply.DENY, then the event will be dropped. If the decision is FilterReply.NEUTRAL, then the next filter, if any, will be invoked. If the decision is FilterReply.ACCEPT then the event will be logged without consulting with other filters in the chain.

    decide in class Filter<E>
    
    Parameters:
