Method Detail

getType

public Class getType()

Description copied from interface: Value

Return the expected type for this value, or Object if the type is unknown.

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)

Description copied from class: Val

Return this value for the given candidate.

Specified by:

eval in class Val

eval

protected Collection eval(Collection candidates,
                          Object orig,
                          StoreContext ctx,
                          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

acceptVisit

public void acceptVisit(ExpressionVisitor visitor)

Description copied from interface: Value

Accept a visit from a tree visitor.

Specified by:

acceptVisit in interface Value

Overrides:

acceptVisit in class Val
