public class ArrayELResolver
extends ELResolver

Defines property resolution behavior on arrays. This resolver handles base objects that are Java language arrays. It accepts any object as a property and coerces that object into an integer index into the array. The resulting value is the value in the array at that index. This resolver can be constructed in read-only mode, which means that isReadOnly will always return true and setValue(ELContext, Object, Object, Object) will always throw PropertyNotWritableException. ELResolvers are combined together using CompositeELResolver s, to define rich semantics for evaluating an expression. See the javadocs for ELResolver for details.

Constructor Detail

ArrayELResolver

public ArrayELResolver()

Creates a new read/write ArrayELResolver.

ArrayELResolver

public ArrayELResolver(boolean readOnly)

Creates a new ArrayELResolver whose read-only status is determined by the given parameter.

Parameters:

readOnly - true if this resolver cannot modify arrays; false otherwise.

Method Detail

getCommonPropertyType

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

If the base object is a Java language array, returns the most general type that this resolver accepts for the property argument. Otherwise, returns null. Assuming the base is an array, this method will always return Integer.class. This is because arrays accept integers for their index.

Specified by:

getCommonPropertyType in class ELResolver

Parameters:

context - The context of this evaluation.

base - The array to analyze. Only bases that are a Java language array are handled by this resolver.

Returns:

null if base is not a Java language array; otherwise Integer.class.

getFeatureDescriptors

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

Always returns null, since there is no reason to iterate through set set of all integers. The getCommonPropertyType(ELContext, Object)8 method returns sufficient information about what properties this resolver accepts.

Specified by:

getFeatureDescriptors in class ELResolver

Parameters:

context - The context of this evaluation.

base - The array to analyze. Only bases that are a Java language array are handled by this resolver.

Returns:

null.

getType

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

If the base object is an array, returns the most general acceptable type for a value in this array. If the base is a array, 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 an array, this method will always return base.getClass().getComponentType(), which is the most general type of component that can be stored at any given index in the array.

Specified by:

getType in class ELResolver

Parameters:

context - The context of this evaluation.

base - The array to analyze. Only bases that are a Java language array are handled by this resolver.

property - The index of the element in the array to return the acceptable type for. Will be coerced into an integer, but otherwise ignored by this resolver.

Returns:

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

Throws:

PropertyNotFoundException - if the given index is out of bounds for this array.

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 Java language array, returns the value at the given index. The index is specified by the property argument, and coerced into an integer. If the coercion could not be performed, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown. If the index is out of bounds, null is returned. If the base is a Java language array, 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.

Specified by:

getValue in class ELResolver

Parameters:

context - The context of this evaluation.

base - The array to analyze. Only bases that are a Java language array are handled by this resolver.

property - The index of the element in the array to return the acceptable type for. Will be coerced into an integer, but otherwise ignored by this resolver.

Returns:

If the propertyResolved property of ELContext was set to true, then the value at the given index or null if the index was out of bounds. Otherwise, undefined.

Throws:

PropertyNotFoundException - if the given index is out of bounds for this array.

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.

isReadOnly

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

If the base object is a Java language array, returns whether a call to setValue(ELContext, Object, Object, Object) will always fail. If the base is a Java language array, 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. Otherwise, it returns false.

Specified by:

isReadOnly in class ELResolver

Parameters:

context - The context of this evaluation.

base - The array to analyze. Only bases that are a Java language array are handled by this resolver.

property - The index of the element in the array to return the acceptable type for. Will be coerced into an integer, but otherwise 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:

PropertyNotFoundException - if the given index is out of bounds for this array.

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 Java language array, attempts to set the value at the given index with the given value. The index is specified by the property argument, and coerced into an integer. If the coercion could not be performed, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown. If the index is out of bounds, a PropertyNotFoundException is thrown. If the base is a Java language array, 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.

Specified by:

setValue in class ELResolver

Parameters:

context - The context of this evaluation.

base - The array to analyze. Only bases that are a Java language array are handled by this resolver.

property - The index of the element in the array to return the acceptable type for. Will be coerced into an integer, but otherwise ignored by this resolver.

value - The value to be set at the given index.

Throws:

PropertyNotFoundException - if the given index is out of bounds for this array.

ClassCastException - if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this array.

NullPointerException - if context is null

IllegalArgumentException - if the property could not be coerced into an integer, or if some aspect of the specified element prevents it from being added to this array.

PropertyNotWritableException - if this resolver was constructed in read-only mode.

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.
