public final class MethodExpressionImpl extends MethodExpression implements java.io.Externalizable
Expression
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
of MethodExpression
that encapsulates the parsed expression.
The FunctionMapper
is used at parse time, not evaluation time,
so one is not needed to evaluate an expression using this class.
However, the ELContext
is needed at evaluation time.
The getMethodInfo(javax.el.ELContext)
and invoke(javax.el.ELContext, java.lang.Object[])
methods will evaluate the
expression each time they are called. The ELResolver
in the
ELContext
is used to resolve the top-level variables and to
determine the behavior of the .
and []
operators. For any of the two methods, the
ELResolver.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 the base
object
on which the method appears. If the base
object is null, a
NullPointerException
must be thrown. At the last resolution,
the final property
is then coerced to a String
,
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 this
MethodExpression
).
See the notes about comparison, serialization and immutability in
the Expression
javadocs.

.
The result is true
if and only if the argument is not
null
, is an Expression
object that is the
of the same type (ValueExpression
or
MethodExpression
), and has an identical parsed
representation.
Note that two expressions can be equal if their expression Strings are
different. For example, ${fn1:foo()}
and
${fn2:foo()}
are equal if their corresponding
FunctionMapper
s mapped fn1:foo
and
fn2:foo
to the same method.

This is used for debugging purposes but also for the purposes of comparison (e.g. to ensure the expression in a configuration file has not changed).
This method does not provide sufficient information to re-create an
expression. Two different expressions can have exactly the same
expression string but different function mappings. Serialization should
be used to save and restore the state of an Expression
.

See the note in the equals(java.lang.Object)
method on how two expressions can be
equal if their expression Strings are different. Recall that if two
objects are equal according to the equals(Object)
method,
then calling the hashCode
method on each of the two
objects must produce the same integer result. Implementations must take
special note and implement hashCode
correctly.
