You can also create compound predicates using boolean operators such as and, or, not and many others.

Currently this feature is only available in the Java-based DSLs, but not in the Spring nor Blueprint DSLs.

Using the PredicateBuilder class, you can combine predicates from different Expression Languages based on logical operators and comparison operators:

• not, and, or
• isNull, isNotNull
• isEqualTo, isGreaterThan, isLessThan
• startsWith, endsWith
• in ("any of X predicates stands true")

Additionally, with PredicateBuilder you can create Regular Expressions and use them as predicates, applying them to the result of an expression, e.g. PredicateBuilder.regex(header("foo"), "\d{4}") applies the regular expression to the header = foo.

Combining different Expression Languages is also possible, e.g.:

PredicateBuilder.and(XPathBuilder.xpath("/bookings/flights"), simple("${property.country = 'Spain'}"))

The sample below demonstrates thisfurther use cases:
