setImplicitType

public void setImplicitType(Class type)
Description copied from interface: Value
Set the implicit type of the value, based on how it is used in the filter. This method is only called on values who return Object from Value.getType().


eval

protected Object eval(Object candidate,
                      Object orig,
                      StoreContext ctx,
                      Object[] params)

                          Object[] params)
Description copied from class: Val
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.

Overrides:
eval in class Val
