All Implemented Interfaces:

EvaluationContext

public class MethodBasedEvaluationContext
extends StandardEvaluationContext

A method-based EvaluationContext that provides explicit support for method-based invocations.

Expose the actual method arguments using the following aliases:

1. pX where X is the index of the argument (p0 for the first argument)
2. aX where X is the index of the argument (a1 for the second argument)
3. the name of the parameter as discovered by a configurable ParameterNameDiscoverer
