java.lang.Object org.jdesktop.el.Expression org.jdesktop.el.ValueExpression org.jdesktop.el.impl.ValueExpressionImpl
public final class ValueExpressionImpl
An Expression
that can get or set a value.
In previous incarnations of this API, expressions could only be read.
ValueExpression
objects can now be used both to retrieve a
value and to set a value. Expressions that can have a value set on them are
referred to as l-value expressions. Those that cannot are referred to as
r-value expressions. Not all r-value expressions can be used as l-value
expressions (e.g. "${1+1}"
or
"${firstName} ${lastName}"
). See the EL Specification for
details. Expressions that cannot be used as l-values must always return
true
from isReadOnly()
.
The
ExpressionFactory.createValueExpression(org.jdesktop.el.ELContext, java.lang.String, java.lang.Class>)
method
can be used to parse an expression string and return a concrete instance
of ValueExpression
that encapsulates the parsed expression.
The FunctionMapper
is used at parse time, not evaluation time,
so one is not needed to evaluate an expression using this class.
However, the ELContext
is needed at evaluation time.
The getValue(org.jdesktop.el.ELContext)
, setValue(org.jdesktop.el.ELContext, java.lang.Object)
, isReadOnly(org.jdesktop.el.ELContext)
and
getType(org.jdesktop.el.ELContext)
methods will evaluate the expression each time they are
called. The ELResolver
in the ELContext
is used to
resolve the top-level variables and to determine the behavior of the
.
and []
operators. For any of the four methods,
the ELResolver.getValue(org.jdesktop.el.ELContext, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)
method is used to resolve all properties
up to but excluding the last one. This provides the base
object. At the last resolution, the ValueExpression
will
call the corresponding ELResolver.getValue(org.jdesktop.el.ELContext, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)
,
ELResolver.setValue(org.jdesktop.el.ELContext, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)
, ELResolver.isReadOnly(org.jdesktop.el.ELContext, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)
or
ELResolver.getType(org.jdesktop.el.ELContext, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)
method, depending on which was called on
the ValueExpression
.
See the notes about comparison, serialization and immutability in
the Expression
javadocs.

Note that two expressions can be equal if their expression
Strings are different. For example, ${fn1:foo()}
and ${fn2:foo()}
are equal if their corresponding
FunctionMapper

For example, in the case of an expression that references an
array element, the getType
method will return the
element type of the array, which might be a superclass of the type
of the actual element that is currently in the specified
array element.

See the note in the Expression.equals(java.lang.Object)
method on how two expressions
can be equal if their expression Strings are different. Recall that
if two objects are equal according to the equals(Object)
method, then calling the hashCode
method on each of the
two objects must produce the same integer result. Implementations must
take special note and implement hashCode
correctly.
