Method Summary
public  Objectevaluate(JellyContext context)
    
public  booleanevaluateAsBoolean(JellyContext context)
     Evaluates the expression with the given context coercing the result to be a boolean.
public  IteratorevaluateAsIterator(JellyContext context)
     Evaluates the expression with the given context coercing the result to be an Iterator.
public  StringevaluateAsString(JellyContext context)
     Evaluates the expression with the given context coercing the result to be a String.
public  ObjectevaluateRecurse(JellyContext context)
     This method evaluates the expression until a value (a non-Expression) object is returned. If the expression returns another expression, then the nested expression is evaluated.

Sometimes when Jelly is used inside Maven the value of an expression can actually be another expression. For example if a properties file is read, the values of variables can actually be expressions themselves.

e.g.

public  StringgetExpressionText()
    



Method Detail
evaluate
public Object evaluate(JellyContext context)(Code)
Evaluates the expression with the given context and returns the result



evaluateAsBoolean
public boolean evaluateAsBoolean(JellyContext context)(Code)
Evaluates the expression with the given context coercing the result to be a boolean.



evaluateAsIterator
public Iterator evaluateAsIterator(JellyContext context)(Code)
Evaluates the expression with the given context coercing the result to be an Iterator.



evaluateAsString
public String evaluateAsString(JellyContext context)(Code)
Evaluates the expression with the given context coercing the result to be a String.



evaluateRecurse
public Object evaluateRecurse(JellyContext context)(Code)
This method evaluates the expression until a value (a non-Expression) object is returned. If the expression returns another expression, then the nested expression is evaluated.

Sometimes when Jelly is used inside Maven the value of an expression can actually be another expression. For example if a properties file is read, the values of variables can actually be expressions themselves.

e.g. ${foo.bar} can lookup "foo.bar" in a Maven context which could actually be another expression.

So using this method, nested expressions can be evaluated to the actual underlying value object.




getExpressionText
public String getExpressionText()(Code)
the textual representation of this expression
