Class FunctionReference

  extended by org.springframework.expression.spel.ast.SpelNodeImpl
      extended by org.springframework.expression.spel.ast.FunctionReference
All Implemented Interfaces:
SpelNode

public class FunctionReference
extends SpelNodeImpl

A function reference is of the form "#someFunction(a,b,c)". Functions may be defined in the context prior to the expression being evaluated or within the expression itself using a lambda function definition. For example: Lambda function definition in an expression: "(#max = {|x,y|$x>$y?$x:$y};max(2,3))" Calling context defined function: "#isEven(37)". Functions may also be static java methods, registered in the context prior to invocation of the expression. Functions are very simplistic, the arguments are not part of the definition (right now), so the names must be unique.
