Package org.springframework.expression.spel.support

Class DataBindingMethodResolver

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.expression.spel.support.ReflectiveMethodResolver

org.springframework.expression.spel.support.DataBindingMethodResolver

All Implemented Interfaces:

MethodResolver

public final class DataBindingMethodResolver
extends ReflectiveMethodResolver

An MethodResolver variant for data binding purposes, using reflection to access instance methods on a given target object.

This accessor does not resolve static methods and also no technical methods on java.lang.Object or java.lang.Class. For unrestricted resolution, choose ReflectiveMethodResolver instead.

Since:

4.3.15

Method Details

resolve

@Nullable
public MethodExecutor resolve(EvaluationContext context,
 Object targetObject,
 String name,
 List<TypeDescriptor> argumentTypes)
                       throws AccessException

Description copied from class: ReflectiveMethodResolver

Locate a method on the type.

There are three kinds of matches that might occur:

1. An exact match where the types of the arguments match the types of the method.
2. An inexact match where the types we are looking for are subtypes of those defined on the method.
3. A match where we are able to convert the arguments into those expected by the method, according to the registered type converter.

Specified by:

resolve in interface MethodResolver

Overrides:

resolve in class ReflectiveMethodResolver

Parameters:

context - the current evaluation context

targetObject - the object upon which the method is being called

name - the name of the method

argumentTypes - the types of arguments that the method must be able to handle

Returns:

a MethodExecutor that can invoke the method, or null if the method cannot be found

Throws:

AccessException

isCandidateForInvocation

protected boolean isCandidateForInvocation(Method method,
 Class<?> targetClass)

Description copied from class: ReflectiveMethodResolver

Determine whether the given Method is a candidate for method resolution on an instance of the given target class.

The default implementation considers any method as a candidate, even for static methods and non-user-declared methods on the Object base class.

Overrides:

isCandidateForInvocation in class ReflectiveMethodResolver

Parameters:

method - the Method to evaluate

targetClass - the concrete target class that is being introspected

forInstanceMethodInvocation

public static DataBindingMethodResolver forInstanceMethodInvocation()

Create a new data-binding method resolver for instance method resolution.
