Method Detail

getValue

public abstract java.lang.Object getValue(ELContext context,
                                          java.lang.Object base,
                                          java.lang.Object property)

Parameters:

context - The EL context for this evaluation

base - The base object on which the property is to be found

property - The property whose value is to be returned

Returns:

the value of the provided property

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - If the supplied context is null

PropertyNotFoundException - If the base/property combination provided to the resolver is one that the resolver can handle but no match was found or a match was found but was not readable

ELException - Wraps any exception throw whilst resolving the property

invoke

public java.lang.Object invoke(ELContext context,
                               java.lang.Object base,
                               java.lang.Object method,
                               java.lang.Class<?>[] paramTypes,
                               java.lang.Object[] params)

Invokes a method on the the given object. This default implementation always returns null.

Parameters:

context - The EL context for this evaluation

base - The base object on which the method is to be found

method - The method to invoke

paramTypes - The types of the parameters of the method to invoke

params - The parameters with which to invoke the method

Returns:

Always null

Since:

EL 2.2

getType

                                           java.lang.Object property)

Parameters:

context - The EL context for this evaluation

base - The base object on which the property is to be found

property - The property whose type is to be returned

Returns:

the type of the provided property

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - If the supplied context is null

PropertyNotFoundException - If the base/property combination provided to the resolver is one that the resolver can handle but no match was found or a match was found but was not readable
