Method Detail

getValueInternal

public TypedValue getValueInternal(ExpressionState state)
                            throws SpelEvaluationException

Specified by:

getValueInternal in class SpelNodeImpl

Throws:

SpelEvaluationException

setValue

public void setValue(ExpressionState state,
                     Object value)
              throws SpelEvaluationException

Description copied from interface: SpelNode

Evaluate the expression to a node and then set the new value on that node. For example, if the expression evaluates to a property reference then the property will be set to the new value.

Specified by:

setValue in interface SpelNode

Overrides:

setValue in class SpelNodeImpl

Parameters:

state - the current expression state (includes the context)

value - the new value

Throws:

SpelEvaluationException

toStringAST

public String toStringAST()

Specified by:

toStringAST in interface SpelNode

Specified by:

toStringAST in class SpelNodeImpl

Returns:

the string form of this AST node

isWritable

public boolean isWritable(ExpressionState expressionState)
                   throws SpelEvaluationException

Description copied from interface: SpelNode

Determine if this expression node will support a setValue() call.

Specified by:

isWritable in interface SpelNode

Overrides:

isWritable in class SpelNodeImpl

Parameters:

expressionState - the current expression state (includes the context)

Returns:

true if the expression node will allow setValue()

Throws:

SpelEvaluationException
