ExpressionEvaluationUtils (Spring Framework API 2.0) - Spring Framework 2.0.5 API 文档英文版

The Spring Framework

org.springframework.web.util
Class ExpressionEvaluationUtils

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.springframework.web.util.ExpressionEvaluationUtils

public abstract class ExpressionEvaluationUtils
extends Object

Convenience methods for transparent access to JSP 2.0's built-in ExpressionEvaluator or the standalone ExpressionEvaluatorManager of Jakarta's JSTL implementation.

Automatically detects JSP 2.0 or Jakarta JSTL, preferring the JSP 2.0 mechanism if available. Also detects the JSP 2.0 API being present but the runtime JSP engine not actually supporting JSP 2.0, falling back to the Jakarta JSTL in this case. Throws an exception when encountering actual EL expressions if neither JSP 2.0 nor the Jakarta JSTL is available.

In the case of JSP 2.0, this class will by default use standard evaluate calls. If your application server happens to be inefficient in that respect, consider setting Spring's "cacheJspExpressions" context-param in web.xml to "true", which will use parseExpression calls with cached Expression objects instead.

The evaluation methods check if the value contains "${" before invoking the EL evaluator, treating the value as "normal" expression (i.e. a literal String value) else.

Note: The evaluation methods do not have a runtime dependency on JSP 2.0 or on Jakarta's JSTL implementation, as long as they are not asked to process actual EL expressions. This allows for using EL-aware tags with Java-based JSP expressions instead, for example.

Method Detail

isExpressionLanguage

public static boolean isExpressionLanguage(String value)
Check if the given expression value is an EL expression.

Parameters:
value - the expression to check
Returns:
true if the expression is an EL expression, false otherwise

evaluate

public static Object evaluate(String attrName,
                              String attrValue,
                              Class resultClass,
                              PageContext pageContext)
                       throws JspException
Evaluate the given expression (be it EL or a literal String value) to an Object of a given type,

Parameters:
attrName - name of the attribute (typically a JSP tag attribute)
attrValue - value of the attribute
resultClass - class that the result should have (String, Integer, Boolean)
pageContext - current JSP PageContext
Returns:
the result of the evaluation
Throws:
JspException - in case of parsing errors, also in case of type mismatch if the passed-in literal value is not an EL expression and not assignable to the result class
