An interface defining a filter which examines a record to see if it
matches (based on an application-defined criteria). The
application implements the match() method to select records to
be returned by the RecordEnumeration. Returns true if the candidate
record is selected by the RecordFilter. This interface
is used in the record store for searching or subsetting records.
For example:
RecordFilter f = new DateRecordFilter(); // class implements RecordFilter
if (f.matches(recordStore.getRecord(theRecordID)) == true)
DoSomethingUseful(theRecordID);
