All Implemented Interfaces:

Filter

public class SpeciesReferenceFilter
extends NameFilter

This is a special NameFilter that allows users to search for a SimpleSpeciesReference that refers to a Species with the given identifier attribute. The boolean switch filterForSpecies that can be changed using the setFilterForSpecies(boolean) method decides whether this SpeciesReferenceFilter should use the given identifier to filter for the actual SimpleSpeciesReference or for the referenced Species.
