Method Detail

isSupported

boolean isSupported(int feature)
Returns whether an feature is supported.

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

parseExpression

Expression parseExpression(XelContext ctx,
                           java.lang.String expression,
                           java.lang.Class<?> expectedType)
                           throws XelException
Prepares (a.k.a., compiles) an expression.

Parameters:
ctx - 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

java.lang.Object evaluate(XelContext ctx,
                          java.lang.String expression,
                          java.lang.Class<?> expectedType)
                          throws XelException
Evaluates an expression.

Parameters:
ctx - 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
