public abstract class MethodExpression extends Expression
AnExpression
that refers to a method on an object.The
ExpressionFactory.createMethodExpression(javax.el.ELContext, java.lang.String, java.lang.Class<?>, java.lang.Class<?>[])
method can be used to parse an expression string and return a concrete instance ofMethodExpression
that encapsulates the parsed expression. TheFunctionMapper
is used at parse time, not evaluation time, so one is not needed to evaluate an expression using this class. However, theELContext
is needed at evaluation time.The
getMethodInfo(javax.el.ELContext)
andinvoke(javax.el.ELContext, java.lang.Object[])
methods will evaluate the expression each time they are called. TheELResolver
in theELContext
is used to resolve the top-level variables and to determine the behavior of the.
and[]
operators. For any of the two methods, theELResolver.getValue(javax.el.ELContext, java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)
method is used to resolve all properties up to but excluding the last one. This provides thebase
object on which the method appears. If thebase
object is null, aPropertyNotFoundException
must be thrown. At the last resolution, the finalproperty
is then coerced to aString
, which provides the name of the method to be found. A method matching the name and expected parameters provided at parse time is found and it is either queried or invoked (depending on the method called on thisMethodExpression
).See the notes about comparison, serialization and immutability in the
Expression
javadocs.- Since:

getMethodInfo
public abstract MethodInfo getMethodInfo(ELContext context)
Evaluates the expression relative to the provided context, and returns information about the actual referenced method.- Parameters:
context
- The context of this evaluation- Returns:
- an instance of
MethodInfo
containing information about the method the expression evaluated to. - Throws:
NullPointerException
- if context isnull
PropertyNotFoundException
- if one of the property resolutions failed because a specified variable or property does not exist or is not readable.MethodNotFoundException
- if no suitable method can be found.ELException
- if an exception was thrown while performing property or variable resolution. The thrown exception must be included as the cause property of this exception, if available.
-
invoke
public abstract Object invoke(ELContext context, Object[] params)
If a String literal is specified as the expression, returns the String literal coerced to the expected return type of the method signature. AnELException
is thrown ifexpectedReturnType
is void or if the coercion of the String literal to theexpectedReturnType
yields an error (see Section "1.18 Type Conversion" of the EL specification). If not a String literal, evaluates the expression relative to the provided context, invokes the method that was found using the supplied parameters, and returns the result of the method invocation. Any parameters passed to this method is ignored if isLiteralText() or isParmetersProvided() is true.- Parameters:
context
- The context of this evaluation.params
- The parameters to pass to the method, ornull
if no parameters.- Returns:
- the result of the method invocation (
null
if the method has avoid
return type). - Throws:
NullPointerException
- if context isnull
PropertyNotFoundException
- if one of the property resolutions failed because a specified variable or property does not exist or is not readable.MethodNotFoundException
- if no suitable method can be found.ELException
- if a String literal is specified and expectedReturnType of the MethodExpression is void or if the coercion of the String literal to the expectedReturnType yields an error (see Section "1.18 Type Conversion").ELException
- if an exception was thrown while performing property or variable resolution. The thrown exception must be included as the cause property of this exception, if available. If the exception thrown is anInvocationTargetException
, extract itscause
and pass it to theELException
constructor.
-
isParametersProvided
public boolean isParametersProvided()
Return whether this MethodExpression was created with parameters.This method must return
true
if and only if parameters are specified in the EL, using the expr-a.expr-b(...) syntax.- Returns:
true
if the MethodExpression was created with parameters,false
otherwise.- Since:
- EL 2.2
-
isParmetersProvided
@Deprecated public boolean isParmetersProvided()
Deprecated.Use isParametersProvided instead.
