Package org.optaplanner.core.impl.heuristic.selector.value.decorator

## Class InitializedValueSelector<Solution_>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.optaplanner.core.impl.heuristic.selector.AbstractSelector<Solution_>
  - - org.optaplanner.core.impl.heuristic.selector.value.AbstractValueSelector<Solution_>
    - - org.optaplanner.core.impl.heuristic.selector.value.decorator.InitializedValueSelector<Solution_>

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `EventListener`, `Selector<Solution_>`, `ValueSelector<Solution_>`, `PhaseLifecycleListener<Solution_>`, `SolverLifecycleListener<Solution_>`
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    `EntityIndependentInitializedValueSelector`

      public class InitializedValueSelector<Solution_>
      extends AbstractValueSelector<Solution_>

  Prevents creating chains without an anchor.

  Filters out every value that is a planning entity for which the `PlanningVariable` (on which this `ValueSelector` applies to) is uninitialized.

  Mainly used for chained planning variables, but supports other planning variables too.

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### variableDescriptor

          protected final GenuineVariableDescriptor<Solution_> variableDescriptor

    - #### childValueSelector

          protected final ValueSelector<Solution_> childValueSelector

    - #### bailOutEnabled

          protected final boolean bailOutEnabled

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### InitializedValueSelector

          protected InitializedValueSelector​(ValueSelector<Solution_> childValueSelector)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### create

          public static <Solution_> ValueSelector<Solution_> create​(ValueSelector<Solution_> valueSelector)

    - #### getVariableDescriptor

          public GenuineVariableDescriptor<Solution_> getVariableDescriptor()

      Returns:
        never null

    - #### isCountable

          public boolean isCountable()

      Description copied from interface: `Selector`
      If false, then `Selector.isNeverEnding()` is true.
      Returns:
        true if all the `ValueRange`s are countable (for example a double value range between 1.2 and 1.4 is not countable)

    - #### isNeverEnding

          public boolean isNeverEnding()

      Description copied from interface: `Selector`
      Is true if `Selector.isCountable()` is false or if this selector is in random order (for most cases). Is never true when this selector is in shuffled order (which is less scalable but more exact).
      Returns:
        true if the `Iterator.hasNext()` of the `Iterator` created by `Iterable.iterator()` never returns false (except when it's empty).

    - #### getSize

          public long getSize​(Object entity)

      Description copied from interface: `ValueSelector`
      Similar to `IterableSelector.getSize()`, but requires an entity.
      Parameters:
        `entity` - never null
      Returns:
        the approximate number of elements generated by this `Selector`, always `>= 0`

    - #### iterator

          public Iterator<Object> iterator​(Object entity)

      Description copied from interface: `ValueSelector`
      Similar to `Iterable.iterator()`, but requires an entity.
      Parameters:
        `entity` - never null
      Returns:
        never null

    - #### endingIterator

          public Iterator<Object> endingIterator​(Object entity)

      Description copied from interface: `ValueSelector`
      If `Selector.isNeverEnding()` is true, then `ValueSelector.iterator(Object)` will never end. This returns an ending `Iterator`, that tries to match `ValueSelector.iterator(Object)` as much as possible, but return each distinct element only once and therefore it might not respect the configuration of this `ValueSelector` entirely.
      Parameters:
        `entity` - never null
      Returns:
        never null

        `ValueSelector.iterator(Object)`

    - #### determineBailOutSize

          protected long determineBailOutSize​(Object entity)

    - #### accept

          protected boolean accept​(Object value)

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
