Class ExpressionFactoryImpl

  • public class ExpressionFactoryImpl
extends ExpressionFactory
    Expression factory implementation. This class is also used as an EL "service provider". The JUEL jar file specifies this class as el expression factory implementation in META-INF/services/javax.el.ExpressionFactory. Calling ExpressionFactory.newInstance() will then return an instance of this class, configured as described below. If no properties are specified at construction time, properties are read from
    1. If the file JAVA_HOME/lib/el.properties exists and if it contains property javax.el.ExpressionFactory whose value is the name of this class, these properties are taken as default properties.
    2. Otherwise, if system property javax.el.ExpressionFactory is set to the name of this class, the system properties System.getProperties() are taken as default properties.
    3. el.properties on your classpath. These properties override the properties from JAVA_HOME/lib/el.properties or System.getProperties().
    There are also constructors to explicitly pass in an instance of Properties. Having this, the following properties are read:
    • javax.el.cacheSize - cache size (int, default is 1000)
    • javax.el.methodInvocations - allow method invocations as in ${foo.bar(baz)} (boolean, default is false).
    • javax.el.nullProperties - resolve null properties as in ${foo[null]} (boolean, default is false).
    • javax.el.varArgs - support function/method calls using varargs (boolean, default is false).

    • Method Detail

      • createTreeStore

        protected TreeStore createTreeStore​(int defaultCacheSize,
                                    ExpressionFactoryImpl.Profile profile,
                                    java.util.Properties properties)
        Create the factory's tree store. This implementation creates a new tree store using the default builder and cache implementations. The builder and cache are configured using the specified properties. The maximum cache size will be as specified unless overridden by property javax.el.cacheSize.

      • createTypeConverter

        protected TypeConverter createTypeConverter​(java.util.Properties properties)
        Create the factory's type converter. This implementation takes the de.odysseus.el.misc.TypeConverter property as the name of a class implementing the de.odysseus.el.misc.TypeConverter interface. If the property is not set, the default converter (TypeConverter.DEFAULT) is used.

      • createTreeBuilder

        protected TreeBuilder createTreeBuilder​(java.util.Properties properties,
                                        Builder.Feature... features)
        Create the factory's builder. This implementation takes the de.odysseus.el.tree.TreeBuilder property as a name of a class implementing the de.odysseus.el.tree.TreeBuilder interface. If the property is not set, a plain de.odysseus.el.tree.impl.Builder is used. If the configured class is a subclass of de.odysseus.el.tree.impl.Builder and which provides a constructor taking an array of Builder.Feature, this constructor will be invoked. Otherwise, the default constructor will be used.

      • coerceToType

        public final java.lang.Object coerceToType​(java.lang.Object obj,
                                           java.lang.Class<?> targetType)
        Description copied from class: ExpressionFactory
        Coerces an object to a specific type according to the EL type conversion rules. An ELException is thrown if an error results from applying the conversion rules.
        Specified by:
        coerceToType in class ExpressionFactory
        Parameters:
        obj - The object to coerce.
        targetType - The target type for the coercion.
        Returns:
        the coerced object

      • createValueExpression

        public final ObjectValueExpression createValueExpression​(java.lang.Object instance,
                                                         java.lang.Class<?> expectedType)
        Description copied from class: ExpressionFactory
        Creates a ValueExpression that wraps an object instance. This method can be used to pass any object as a ValueExpression. The wrapper ValueExpression is read only, and returns the wrapped object via its getValue() method, optionally coerced.
        Specified by:
        createValueExpression in class ExpressionFactory
        Parameters:
        instance - The object instance to be wrapped.
        expectedType - The type the result of the expression will be coerced to after evaluation. There will be no coercion if it is Object.class,
        Returns:
        a ValueExpression that wraps the given object instance.

      • createValueExpression

        public final TreeValueExpression createValueExpression​(ELContext context,
                                                       java.lang.String expression,
                                                       java.lang.Class<?> expectedType)
        Description copied from class: ExpressionFactory
        Parses an expression into a ValueExpression for later evaluation. Use this method for expressions that refer to values. This method should perform syntactic validation of the expression. If in doing so it detects errors, it should raise an ELException.
        Specified by:
        createValueExpression in class ExpressionFactory
        Parameters:
        context - The EL context used to parse the expression. The FunctionMapper and VariableMapper stored in the ELContext are used to resolve functions and variables found in the expression. They can be null, in which case functions or variables are not supported for this expression. The object returned must invoke the same functions and access the same variable mappings regardless of whether the mappings in the provided FunctionMapper and VariableMapper instances change between calling ExpressionFactory.createValueExpression() and any method on ValueExpression. Note that within the EL, the ${} and #{} syntaxes are treated identically. This includes the use of VariableMapper and FunctionMapper at expression creation time. Each is invoked if not null, independent of whether the #{} or ${} syntax is used for the expression.
        expression - The expression to parse
        expectedType - The type the result of the expression will be coerced to after evaluation.
        Returns:
        The parsed expression

      • createMethodExpression

        public final TreeMethodExpression createMethodExpression​(ELContext context,
                                                         java.lang.String expression,
                                                         java.lang.Class<?> expectedReturnType,
                                                         java.lang.Class<?>[] expectedParamTypes)
        Description copied from class: ExpressionFactory
        Parses an expression into a MethodExpression for later evaluation. Use this method for expressions that refer to methods. If the expression is a String literal, a MethodExpression is created, which when invoked, returns the String literal, coerced to expectedReturnType. An ELException is thrown if expectedReturnType is void or if the coercion of the String literal to the expectedReturnType yields an error (see Section "1.16 Type Conversion"). This method should perform syntactic validation of the expression. If in doing so it detects errors, it should raise an ELException.
        Specified by:
        createMethodExpression in class ExpressionFactory
        Parameters:
        context - The EL context used to parse the expression. The FunctionMapper and VariableMapper stored in the ELContext are used to resolve functions and variables found in the expression. They can be null, in which case functions or variables are not supported for this expression. The object returned must invoke the same functions and access the same variable mappings regardless of whether the mappings in the provided FunctionMapper and VariableMapper instances change between calling ExpressionFactory.createMethodExpression() and any method on MethodExpression. Note that within the EL, the ${} and #{} syntaxes are treated identically. This includes the use of VariableMapper and FunctionMapper at expression creation time. Each is invoked if not null, independent of whether the #{} or ${} syntax is used for the expression.
        expression - The expression to parse
        expectedReturnType - The expected return type for the method to be found. After evaluating the expression, the MethodExpression must check that the return type of the actual method matches this type. Passing in a value of null indicates the caller does not care what the return type is, and the check is disabled.
        expectedParamTypes - The expected parameter types for the method to be found. Must be an array with no elements if there are no parameters expected. It is illegal to pass null.
        Returns:
        The parsed expression
