public interface JexlContext
Manages variables which can be referenced in a JEXL expression.
JEXL variable names in their simplest form are 'java-like' identifiers. JEXL also considers 'ant' inspired variables expressions as valid. For instance, the expression 'x.y.z' is an 'antish' variable and will be resolved as a whole by the context, i.e. using the key "x.y.z". This proves to be useful to solve "fully qualified class names".
The interpreter variable resolution algorithm will try the different sequences of identifiers till it finds one that exists in the context; if "x" is an object known in the context (JexlContext.has("x") returns true), "x.y" will not be looked up in the context but will most likely refer to "x.getY()".
Note that JEXL may use '$jexl' and '$ujexl' variables for internal purpose; setting or getting those variables may lead to unexpected results unless specified otherwise.

static interface |
JexlContext.AnnotationProcessor
A marker interface of the JexlContext that allows to process annotations. |
static interface |
JexlContext.NamespaceFunctor
A marker interface of the JexlContext, NamespaceFunctor allows creating an instance to delegate namespace methods calls to. |
static interface |
JexlContext.NamespaceResolver
A marker interface of the JexlContext that declares how to resolve a namespace from its name; it is used by the interpreter during evaluation. |
static interface |
JexlContext.ThreadLocal
A marker interface of the JexlContext that indicates the interpreter to put this context in the JexlEngine thread local context instance during evaluation. |

Method Detail |
---|
Object get(String name)
name
- the variable's name
void set(String name, Object value)
name
- the variable's namevalue
- the variable's valueboolean has(String name)
A variable may be defined with a null value; this method checks whether the value is null or if the variable is undefined.
name
- the variable's name
