Class StandardEvaluationContext

java.lang.Object
  extended by 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.

addMethodResolver

public void addMethodResolver(MethodResolver resolver)

removeMethodResolver

public boolean removeMethodResolver(MethodResolver methodResolver)

getMethodResolvers

public List<MethodResolver> getMethodResolvers()

public void setMethodResolvers(List<MethodResolver> methodResolvers)

addPropertyAccessor

public void addPropertyAccessor(PropertyAccessor accessor)

removePropertyAccessor

public boolean removePropertyAccessor(PropertyAccessor accessor)

getPropertyAccessors

public List<PropertyAccessor> getPropertyAccessors()
Specified by:
getPropertyAccessors in interface EvaluationContext
Returns:
a list of accessors that will be asked in turn to read/write a property

setPropertyAccessors

public void setPropertyAccessors(List<PropertyAccessor> propertyAccessors)

setTypeLocator

public void setTypeLocator(TypeLocator typeLocator)

getTypeLocator

public TypeLocator getTypeLocator()
Specified by:
getTypeLocator in interface EvaluationContext

setTypeConverter

public void setTypeConverter(TypeConverter typeConverter)

getTypeConverter

public TypeConverter getTypeConverter()
Specified by:
getTypeConverter in interface EvaluationContext
Returns:
a type converter that can convert (or coerce) a value from one type to another.

setTypeComparator

public void setTypeComparator(TypeComparator typeComparator)

getTypeComparator

public TypeComparator getTypeComparator()
Specified by:
getTypeComparator in interface EvaluationContext
Returns:
a type comparator for comparing pairs of objects for equality.

setOperatorOverloader

public void setOperatorOverloader(OperatorOverloader operatorOverloader)

getOperatorOverloader

public OperatorOverloader getOperatorOverloader()
Specified by:
getOperatorOverloader in interface EvaluationContext
Returns:
an operator overloader that may support mathematical operations between more than the standard set of types

setVariable

public void setVariable(String name,
                        Object value)
Description copied from interface: EvaluationContext
Set a named variable within this evaluation context to a specified value.

Specified by:
setVariable in interface EvaluationContext
Parameters:
name - variable to set
value - value to be placed in the variable

setVariables

public void setVariables(Map<String,Object> variables)

registerFunction

public void registerFunction(String name,
                             Method method)

public Object lookupVariable(String name)
Description copied from interface: EvaluationContext
Look up a named variable within this evaluation context.

Specified by:
lookupVariable in interface EvaluationContext
Parameters:
name - variable to lookup
Returns:
the value of the variable

registerMethodFilter

public void registerMethodFilter(Class<?> type,
                                 MethodFilter filter)
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 deregister a filter for the type
