<div class="block">A <I>Selection</I> implements a <I>Selector</I> for use with a
<I>Parameter</I> or <I>Value</I> wherever selective comparison of
Parameters and/or Values is needed.
<P>
For example, both the Parameter and Value <CODE>Find</CODE> methods
use a Selector when making object comparisons, and use this
Selection class when no other Selector is specified. A Selection can
be used to specify the criteria to be used in comparing all, or any
part, of two Parameters or Values.
<P>
The criteria are specified as the characteristics of the Parameter
and/or Value to use in making a selection, and the combinatorial
boolean logic to apply to the characteristics when comparing one
object against another. The Selector interface defines the criteria
symbols. The Selection class provides the definition of the criteria
and comparison methods.
