Class StandardEvaluationContext

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.expression.spel.support.StandardEvaluationContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

EvaluationContext

public class StandardEvaluationContext
extends Object
implements EvaluationContext

Provides a default EvaluationContext implementation.

To resolve properties/methods/fields this context uses a reflection mechanism.

Since:

3.0

Register a MethodFilter which will be called during method resolution for the specified type.

The MethodFilter may remove methods and/or sort the methods which will then be used by SpEL as the candidates to look through for a match.

Parameters:

type - the type for which the filter should be called

filter - a MethodFilter, or null to unregister a filter for the type

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the ReflectiveMethodResolver is not in use
