> In my current project I created a set of new Predicates that I call as Property Predicates.  These predicates can used to filter a collection based on property values.  
> For example we have :
> Class Foo{
> 	String name;
> 	Int age;
> 	Address address;
> }
> Address{
> 	String street;
> 	String zip;
> }
> Collection<Foo> myFoos ;
> And we want to find all the Foo in myFoos with name that starts with A, and age > 40 and who are living at Zip 07095 we can create a Predicate like follows:
> Predicate p =  new PropertyLikePredicate("name","A*")
> .andGreaterThan("age",40)
> .andEquals(address.zip,"07095");
> Note: Like supports wildcards '*' and '?'
> What is even better is that these predicates work with collections too.  What I mean is if we have :
> FooBar{
> 	String name;
> 	Collection<Address> addresses;
> }
> And you want to locate someone with a zip 07095 as part of anyof its' addresses all we need is to create a predicate :
> Predicate p = new PropertyEqualsPredicate("addresses[].zip","07095");
> My Predicate chain currently supports the following features:
> 1.	andEquals
> 2.	orEquals
> 3.	andNotEquals
> 4.	orNotEquals
> 5.	andLike
> 6.	orLike
> 7.	andGreatorThan
> 8.	orGreatorThan
> 9.	andGreatorThanOrEquals
> 10.	orGreatorThanOrEquals
> 11.	andLessThan
> 12.	orLessThan
> 13.	andLessThanOrEquals
> 14.	orLessThanOrEquals
> 15.	isNull
> 16.	isNotNull
> 17.	orNull
> 18.	orNotNull
> 19.	orNullOrEmpty
> 20.	orNotNullOrEmpty
> 21.	andNullOrEmpty
> 22.	andNotNullOrEmpty
> All features have accompanying testcases.  In my opinion this is a powerful addition to the functors and I would like to contribute this work to the commons-collection.
