Method Detail

isSupported

public boolean isSupported(int feature)

Description copied from interface: ExpressionFactory

Returns whether an feature is supported.

Specified by:

isSupported in interface ExpressionFactory

Parameters:

feature - which feature to query. It can be a combination of ExpressionFactory.FEATURE_FUNCTION and ExpressionFactory.FEATURE_CLASS.

parseExpression

public Expression parseExpression(XelContext xelc,
                         java.lang.String expression,
                         java.lang.Class expectedType)
                           throws XelException

Description copied from interface: ExpressionFactory

Prepares (a.k.a., compiles) an expression.

Specified by:

parseExpression in interface ExpressionFactory

Parameters:

xelc - the context information to prepare the expression. It can be null, in which case no functions are supported for this invocation.

expression - the expression to be evaluated.

expectedType - the expected type of the result of the evaluation

Throws:

XelException

evaluate

public java.lang.Object evaluate(XelContext xelc,
                        java.lang.String expression,
                        java.lang.Class expectedType)
                          throws XelException

Description copied from interface: ExpressionFactory

Evaluates an expression.

Specified by:

evaluate in interface ExpressionFactory

Parameters:

xelc - the context information to evaluate an expression. It can be null, in which case no functions are supported for this invocation.

expression - the expression to be evaluated. Note: the expression is enclosed with ${ and }, regardless of what implementation is used.

expectedType - the expected type of the result of the evaluation

Throws:

XelException

newELContext

protected ELContext newELContext(XelContext xelc)

newExpressionFactory

protected ExpressionFactory newExpressionFactory()

Returns the EL expression factory.

Default: Use org.zkoss.zel.impl.ExpressionFactoryImpl.

You might override it to use a different implementation.
