Method Detail

getCommonPropertyType

public Class<?> getCommonPropertyType(ELContext context,
                             Object base)

If the base object is not null, returns the most general type that this resolver accepts for the property argument. Otherwise, returns null. Assuming the base is not null, this method will always return Object.class. This is because any object is accepted as a key and is coerced into a string.

Specified by:

getCommonPropertyType in class ELResolver

Parameters:

context - The context of this evaluation.

base - The bean to analyze.

Returns:

null if base is null; otherwise Object.class.

getFeatureDescriptors

public Iterator<FeatureDescriptor> getFeatureDescriptors(ELContext context,
                                                Object base)

If the base object is not null, returns an Iterator containing the set of JavaBeans properties available on the given object. Otherwise, returns null. The Iterator returned must contain zero or more instances of java.beans.FeatureDescriptor. Each info object contains information about a property in the bean, as obtained by calling the BeanInfo.getPropertyDescriptors method. The FeatureDescriptor is initialized using the same fields as are present in the PropertyDescriptor, with the additional required named attributes "type" and "resolvableAtDesignTime" set as follows:

• ELResolver.TYPE - The runtime type of the property, from PropertyDescriptor.getPropertyType().
• ELResolver.RESOLVABLE_AT_DESIGN_TIME - true.

Specified by:

getFeatureDescriptors in class ELResolver

Parameters:

context - The context of this evaluation.

base - The bean to analyze.

Returns:

An Iterator containing zero or more FeatureDescriptor objects, each representing a property on this bean, or null if the base object is null.

getType

public Class<?> getType(ELContext context,
               Object base,
               Object property)

If the base object is a map, returns the most general acceptable type for a value in this map. If the base is a Map, the propertyResolved property of the ELContext object must be set to true by this resolver, before returning. If this property is not true after this method is called, the caller should ignore the return value. Assuming the base is a Map, this method will always return Object.class. This is because Maps accept any object as the value for a given key.

Specified by:

getType in class ELResolver

Parameters:

context - The context of this evaluation.

base - The map to analyze. Only bases of type Map are handled by this resolver.

property - The key to return the acceptable type for. Ignored by this resolver.

Returns:

If the propertyResolved property of ELContext was set to true, then the most general acceptable type; otherwise undefined.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if context is null

ELException - if an exception was thrown while performing the property or variable resolution. The thrown exception must be included as the cause property of this exception, if available.

getValue

public Object getValue(ELContext context,
              Object base,
              Object property)

If the base object is a map, returns the value associated with the given key, as specified by the property argument. If the key was not found, null is returned. If the base is a Map, the propertyResolved property of the ELContext object must be set to true by this resolver, before returning. If this property is not true after this method is called, the caller should ignore the return value. Just as in java.util.Map.get(Object), just because null is returned doesn't mean there is no mapping for the key; it's also possible that the Map explicitly maps the key to null.

Specified by:

getValue in class ELResolver

Parameters:

context - The context of this evaluation.

base - The map to analyze. Only bases of type Map are handled by this resolver.

property - The key to return the acceptable type for. Ignored by this resolver.

Returns:

If the propertyResolved property of ELContext was set to true, then the value associated with the given key or null if the key was not found. Otherwise, undefined.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the key is of an inappropriate type for this map (optionally thrown by the underlying Map).

NullPointerException - if context is null, or if the key is null and this map does not permit null keys (the latter is optionally thrown by the underlying Map).

ELException - if an exception was thrown while performing the property or variable resolution. The thrown exception must be included as the cause property of this exception, if available.

isReadOnly

public boolean isReadOnly(ELContext context,
                 Object base,
                 Object property)

If the base object is a map, returns whether a call to setValue(ELContext, Object, Object, Object) will always fail. If the base is a Map, the propertyResolved property of the ELContext object must be set to true by this resolver, before returning. If this property is not true after this method is called, the caller should ignore the return value. If this resolver was constructed in read-only mode, this method will always return true. If a Map was created using java.util.Collections.unmodifiableMap(Map), this method must return true. Unfortunately, there is no Collections API method to detect this. However, an implementation can create a prototype unmodifiable Map and query its runtime type to see if it matches the runtime type of the base object as a workaround.

Specified by:

isReadOnly in class ELResolver

Parameters:

context - The context of this evaluation.

base - The map to analyze. Only bases of type Map are handled by this resolver.

property - The key to return the acceptable type for. Ignored by this resolver.

Returns:

If the propertyResolved property of ELContext was set to true, then true if calling the setValue method will always fail or false if it is possible that such a call may succeed; otherwise undefined.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if context is null.

ELException - if an exception was thrown while performing the property or variable resolution. The thrown exception must be included as the cause property of this exception, if available.

setValue

public void setValue(ELContext context,
            Object base,
            Object property,
            Object value)

If the base object is a map, attempts to set the value associated with the given key, as specified by the property argument. If the base is a Map, the propertyResolved property of the ELContext object must be set to true by this resolver, before returning. If this property is not true after this method is called, the caller can safely assume no value was set. If this resolver was constructed in read-only mode, this method will always throw PropertyNotWritableException. If a Map was created using java.util.Collections.unmodifiableMap(Map), this method must throw PropertyNotWritableException. Unfortunately, there is no Collections API method to detect this. However, an implementation can create a prototype unmodifiable Map and query its runtime type to see if it matches the runtime type of the base object as a workaround.

Specified by:

setValue in class ELResolver

Parameters:

context - The context of this evaluation.

base - The map to analyze. Only bases of type Map are handled by this resolver.

property - The key to return the acceptable type for. Ignored by this resolver.

value - The value to be associated with the specified key.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the class of the specified key or value prevents it from being stored in this map.

NullPointerException - if context is null, or if this map does not permit null keys or values, and the specified key or value is null.

IllegalArgumentException - if some aspect of this key or value prevents it from being stored in this map.

PropertyNotWritableException - if this resolver was constructed in read-only mode, or if the put operation is not supported by the underlying map.

ELException - if an exception was thrown while performing the property or variable resolution. The thrown exception must be included as the cause property of this exception, if available.
