public interface QueryExp extends Serializable
Represents relational constraints similar to database query "where
 clauses". Instances of QueryExp are returned by the static methods of the
 Query class.
It is possible, but not
 recommended, to create custom queries by implementing this
 interface.  In that case, it is better to extend the QueryEval class than to implement the interface directly, so that
 the setMBeanServer(javax.management.MBeanServer) method works correctly.

Method Details- 
applyboolean apply(ObjectName name) throws BadStringOperationException, BadBinaryOpValueExpException, BadAttributeValueExpException, InvalidApplicationExceptionApplies the QueryExp on an MBean.- Parameters:
- name- The name of the MBean on which the QueryExp will be applied.
- Returns:
- True if the query was successfully applied to the MBean, false otherwise
- Throws:
- BadStringOperationException- when an invalid string operation is passed to a method for constructing a query
- BadBinaryOpValueExpException- when an invalid expression is passed to a method for constructing a query
- BadAttributeValueExpException- when an invalid MBean attribute is passed to a query constructing method
- InvalidApplicationException- when an invalid apply is attempted
