Package org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.string

Class FlexibleStringExpander

java.lang.Object

org.apache.ofbiz.base.util.string.FlexibleStringExpander

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, IsEmpty

Direct Known Subclasses:

FlexibleStringExpander.ArrayOffsetString, FlexibleStringExpander.ConstSimpleElem

public abstract class FlexibleStringExpander
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, IsEmpty

Expands String values that contain Unified Expression Language (JSR 245) syntax. This class also supports the execution of Groovy scripts by using the 'groovy:' prefix. Further it is possible to control the output by specifying the suffix '?currency(XXX)' to format the output according to the supplied locale and specified (XXX) currency.

This class extends the UEL by allowing nested expressions.

Method Detail

containsConstant

public static boolean containsConstant(FlexibleStringExpander fse)

Returns true if fse contains a String constant.

Parameters:

fse - The FlexibleStringExpander to test

Returns:

true if fse contains a String constant

containsExpression

public static boolean containsExpression(FlexibleStringExpander fse)

Returns true if fse contains an expression.

Parameters:

fse - The FlexibleStringExpander to test

Returns:

true if fse contains an expression

containsScript

public static boolean containsScript(FlexibleStringExpander fse)

Returns true if fse contains a script.

Parameters:

fse - The FlexibleStringExpander to test

Returns:

true if fse contains a script

expandString

public static java.lang.String expandString(java.lang.String expression,
                                            java.util.Map<java.lang.String,? extends java.lang.Object> context)

Evaluate an expression and return the result as a String. Null expressions return null. A null context argument will return the original expression.

Note that the behavior of this method is not the same as using FlexibleStringExpander.getInstance(expression).expandString(context) because it returns null when given a null expression argument, and FlexibleStringExpander.getInstance(expression).expandString(context) returns an empty String.

Parameters:

expression - The original expression

context - The evaluation context

Returns:

The original expression's evaluation result as a String

expandString

public static java.lang.String expandString(java.lang.String expression,
                                            java.util.Map<java.lang.String,? extends java.lang.Object> context,
                                            java.util.Locale locale)

Evaluate an expression and return the result as a String. Null expressions return null. A null context argument will return the original expression.

Note that the behavior of this method is not the same as using FlexibleStringExpander.getInstance(expression).expandString(context, locale) because it returns null when given a null expression argument, and FlexibleStringExpander.getInstance(expression).expandString(context, locale) returns an empty String.

Parameters:

expression - The original expression

context - The evaluation context

locale - The locale to be used for localization

Returns:

The original expression's evaluation result as a String

expandString

public static java.lang.String expandString(java.lang.String expression,
                                            java.util.Map<java.lang.String,? extends java.lang.Object> context,
                                            java.util.TimeZone timeZone,
                                            java.util.Locale locale)

Evaluate an expression and return the result as a String. Null expressions return null. A null context argument will return the original expression.

Note that the behavior of this method is not the same as using FlexibleStringExpander.getInstance(expression).expandString(context, timeZone locale) because it returns null when given a null expression argument, and FlexibleStringExpander.getInstance(expression).expandString(context, timeZone, locale) returns an empty String.

Parameters:

expression - The original expression

context - The evaluation context

timeZone - The time zone to be used for localization

locale - The locale to be used for localization

Returns:

The original expression's evaluation result as a String

getInstance

public static FlexibleStringExpander getInstance(java.lang.String expression)

Returns a FlexibleStringExpander object.

A null or empty argument will return a FlexibleStringExpander object that represents an empty expression. That object is a shared singleton, so there is no memory or performance penalty in using it.

If the method is passed a String argument that doesn't contain an expression, the FlexibleStringExpander object that is returned does not perform any evaluations on the original String - any methods that return a String will return the original String. The object returned by this method is very compact - taking less memory than the original String.

Parameters:

expression - The original expression

Returns:

A FlexibleStringExpander instance

getInstance

public static FlexibleStringExpander getInstance(java.lang.String expression,
                                                 boolean useCache)

getStrElems

protected static FlexibleStringExpander[] getStrElems(char[] chars,
                                                      int offset,
                                                      int length)
