Constructor Detail

ASTReference

public ASTReference(int id)

Create the node given an id.

Parameters:

id - node id.

ASTReference

public ASTReference(Parser p,
                    int id)

Create a node with the given parser and id.

Parameters:

p - a parser.

id - node id.

Method Detail

jjtAccept

public java.lang.Object jjtAccept(ParserVisitor visitor,
                                  java.lang.Object data)

Accept the visitor.

Specified by:

jjtAccept in interface Node

Overrides:

jjtAccept in class SimpleNode

Parameters:

visitor - a ParserVisitor.

data - data to be passed along to the visitor.

Returns:

the value from visiting.

See Also:

ParserVisitor.visit(org.apache.commons.jexl.parser.SimpleNode, java.lang.Object)

value

public java.lang.Object value(JexlContext jc)
                       throws java.lang.Exception

Gets the value of this node.

Overrides:

value in class SimpleNode

Parameters:

jc - the context to retrieve values from.

Returns:

the value of the node.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - when evaluating the operands fails.

jjtClose

public void jjtClose()

Store the first child as root.

Specified by:

jjtClose in interface Node

Overrides:

jjtClose in class SimpleNode

execute

public java.lang.Object execute(java.lang.Object obj,
                                JexlContext jc)
                         throws java.lang.Exception

evaluate each piece of the reference. e.g. foo.bar.woogie[2].name, foo is our 'root', and we need to evaluate 'bar.woogie[2].name' relative to foo.

Overrides:

execute in class SimpleNode

Parameters:

jc - the JexlContext to evaluate against.

obj - not used. root.value(jc) is used instead.

Returns:

the value of the array expression.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - on any error

getIdentifierToDepth

private java.lang.String getIdentifierToDepth(int i)

This method returns a variable from this identifier and it's children. For an expression like 'a.b.c', a is child zero, b is child 1 and c is child 2.

Parameters:

i - the depth of the child nodes to go to

Returns:

the a dotted variable from this identifier and it's child nodes.

getRootString

public java.lang.String getRootString()
                               throws java.lang.Exception

Gets the variable name of root.

Returns:

the identifier.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - on any error
