Method Summary

java.lang.String	getFact() Retrieve the fact id of the left side of the operation.
java.lang.String	getFactValue() Retrieve the fact name whose value is used right side of the operation if set with setFactValue() otherwise this will return None.
java.lang.String	getReason() Retrieve reason string that contains human readable explanation that can be displayed as an error when a constraint evaluates to false.
org.python.core.PyObject	getValue() Retrieve the value of the right side of the operation if set as a value or else it returns null.
void	setFact(java.lang.String fact) Sets the fact id for the left side of the operation.
void	setFactValue(java.lang.String factvalue) Sets the fact name whose value is used in the right side of the operation and in doing so negates any previous setValue() call.
void	setReason(java.lang.String reason) Sets the reason string that contains human readable explanation that can be displayed as an error when a constraint evaluates to false.
void	setValue(org.python.core.PyObject value) Sets the value of the right side of the operation and in doing so negates any previous setFactValue() call.
