Class StandardEvaluationContext

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.expression.spel.support.StandardEvaluationContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

EvaluationContext

Direct Known Subclasses:

MethodBasedEvaluationContext

public class StandardEvaluationContext
extends Object
implements EvaluationContext

A powerful and highly configurable EvaluationContext implementation. This context uses standard implementations of all applicable strategies, based on reflection to resolve properties, methods and fields.

For a simpler builder-style context variant for data-binding purposes, consider using SimpleEvaluationContext instead which allows for opting into several SpEL features as needed by specific evaluation cases.

Since:

3.0

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

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the ReflectiveMethodResolver is not in use
