How to implement a SQL like 'LIKE' operator in java?

Question

I need a comparator in java which has the same semantics as the sql \'like\' operator. For example:

myComparator.like(\"digital\",\"%ital%\");
myComparator.l         


        

Answer 1

Apache Cayanne ORM has an "In memory evaluation"

It may not work for unmapped object, but looks promising:

Expression exp = ExpressionFactory.likeExp("artistName", "A%");   
List startWithA = exp.filterObjects(artists);
