Method Detail

evaluate

public final Object evaluate(Object candidate,
                             Object orig,
                             StoreContext ctx,
                             Object[] params)
Return this value as a projection on the given candidate.


evaluate

public final Object evaluate(Collection candidates,
                             Object orig,
                             StoreContext ctx,
                             Object[] params)
Return this value as an aggregate projection on the given group of candidates.


eval

protected abstract Object eval(Object candidate,
                               Object orig,
                               StoreContext ctx,
                               Object[] params)
Return this value for the given candidate.


eval

protected Collection eval(Collection candidates,
                          Object orig,
                          StoreContext ctx,
                          Object[] params)
Return a list of values resulting from evaluating each given candidate. By default, this implementation invokes #eval(Object,Object,StoreContext,Map) for each instance and packs the return value into a new list. Aggregates should override.
