Constructor Detail

Scope

public Scope(Map<String,Object> backingMap,
             boolean isLocal)

Constructor

Parameters:

backingMap - The backing map of variables

isLocal - Whether this scope is local or not

Method Detail

shallowCopy

public Scope shallowCopy()

Creates a shallow copy of the Scope.

This is used for the parallel tag because every new thread should have a "snapshot" of the scopes, i.e. one thread should not affect rendering output of another.

It will construct a new collection but it will contain references to all of the original variables therefore it is not a deep copy. This is why it is import for the user to use thread-safe variables when using the parallel tag.

Returns:

A copy of the scope

isLocal

public boolean isLocal()

Returns whether or not this scope is "local".

Returns:

boolean stating whether this scope is local or not.

put

public void put(String key,
                Object value)

Adds a variable to this scope

Parameters:

key - The name of the variable

value - The value of the variable

get

public Object get(String key)

Retrieves the variable at this scope

Parameters:

key - The name of the variable

Returns:

The value of the variable

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(String key)

Checks if this scope contains a variable of a certain name.

Parameters:

key - The name of the variable

Returns:

boolean stating whether or not the backing map of this scope contains that variable
