Method Detail

getType

public abstract Class getType(Object base,
            int index)
                       throws EvaluationException,
                              PropertyNotFoundException

Deprecated.

Returns the datatype of the specified element within a list or array.

Param base must be of type Array or List.

Throws:

EvaluationException

PropertyNotFoundException

getType

public abstract Class getType(Object base,
            Object property)
                       throws EvaluationException,
                              PropertyNotFoundException

Deprecated.

Returns the datatype of the specified javabean property on the specified object.

Param base may be a map, in which case param property is used as a key into the map, and the type of the object with that key is returned. If there is no such key in the map, then Object.class is returned.

Otherwise java.beans.Introspector is used to determine the actual property type. If the base bean has no such property then a PropertyNotFoundException is thrown.

Parameters:

base - must not be null.

property - must be of type String, must not be null and must not be an empty string.

Throws:

EvaluationException

PropertyNotFoundException

getValue

public abstract Object getValue(Object base,
              int index)
                         throws EvaluationException,
                                PropertyNotFoundException

Deprecated.

Return the specified element from a list or array.

Param base must be of type Array or List. When the array is of a primitive type, the appropriate wrapper is returned.

Null is returned when param index is "out of bounds" for the provided base object.

Throws:

ReferenceSyntaxException - if the base object is not an Array or List.

EvaluationException

PropertyNotFoundException

getValue

public abstract Object getValue(Object base,
              Object property)
                         throws EvaluationException,
                                PropertyNotFoundException

Deprecated.

Return the current value of the specified property on the base object.

If base is a Map, then Map.get(property) is returned. Null is returned if there is no entry with that key.

Otherwise, java.beans.Introspector is applied to the base object to find the associated PropertyDescriptor and the specified read method is invoked.

Throws:

PropertyNotFoundException - if the provided object does not have the specified property.

EvaluationException

isReadOnly

public abstract boolean isReadOnly(Object base,
                 int index)
                            throws EvaluationException,
                                   PropertyNotFoundException

Deprecated.

Throws:

EvaluationException

PropertyNotFoundException

isReadOnly

public abstract boolean isReadOnly(Object base,
                 Object property)
                            throws EvaluationException,
                                   PropertyNotFoundException

Deprecated.

Throws:

EvaluationException

PropertyNotFoundException

setValue

public abstract void setValue(Object base,
            int index,
            Object value)
                       throws EvaluationException,
                              PropertyNotFoundException

Deprecated.

Replace the object at the specified index within the base collection with the provided value.

Param base is expected to be an Array or List object.

Throws:

EvaluationException - if the base object is not an Array or List.

PropertyNotFoundException - if the index is "out of bounds".

setValue

public abstract void setValue(Object base,
            Object property,
            Object value)
                       throws EvaluationException,
                              PropertyNotFoundException

Deprecated.

Set the named property on the base object to the provided value.

Throws:

EvaluationException

PropertyNotFoundException
