Method Detail

isValidOgnlExpression

public static boolean isValidOgnlExpression(String expression)

Tests whether or not the given String is a Camel OGNL expression.

Its consider Camel OGNL expression when it contains either one of the following chars: . or [

Parameters:

expression - the String

Returns:

true if Camel OGNL expression, otherwise false.

isInvalidValidOgnlExpression

public static boolean isInvalidValidOgnlExpression(String expression)

isNullSafeOperator

public static boolean isNullSafeOperator(String ognlExpression)

Tests whether or not the given Camel OGNL expression is using the elvis operator or not.

Parameters:

ognlExpression - the Camel OGNL expression

Returns:

true if the elvis operator is used, otherwise false.

removeLeadingOperators

public static String removeLeadingOperators(String ognlExpression)

Removes any leading operators from the Camel OGNL expression.

Will remove any leading of the following chars: ? or .

Parameters:

ognlExpression - the Camel OGNL expression

Returns:

the Camel OGNL expression without any leading operators.

removeTrailingOperators

public static String removeTrailingOperators(String ognlExpression)

Removes any trailing operators from the Camel OGNL expression.

Parameters:

ognlExpression - the Camel OGNL expression

Returns:

the Camel OGNL expression without any trailing operators.

removeOperators

public static String removeOperators(String ognlExpression)

isOgnlIndex

public static KeyValueHolder<String,String> isOgnlIndex(String ognlExpression)

splitOgnl

public static List<String> splitOgnl(String ognl)

Regular expression with repeating groups is a pain to get right and then nobody understands the reg exp afterwards. So use a bit ugly/low-level java code to split the ognl into methods.
