/**
 * An <code>Expression</code> that can get or set a value.
 * <p>
 * In previous incarnations of this API, expressions could only be read. <code>ValueExpression</code> objects can now be
 * used both to retrieve a value and to set a value. Expressions that can have a value set on them are referred to as
 * l-value expressions. Those that cannot are referred to as r-value expressions. Not all r-value expressions can be
 * used as l-value expressions (e.g. <code>"${1+1}"</code> or <code>"${firstName} ${lastName}"</code>). See the EL
 * Specification for details. Expressions that cannot be used as l-values must always return <code>true</code> from
 * <code>isReadOnly()</code>.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The {@link javax.el.ExpressionFactory#createValueExpression} method can be used to parse an expression string and
 * return a concrete instance of <code>ValueExpression</code> that encapsulates the parsed expression. The
 * {@link FunctionMapper} is used at parse time, not evaluation time, so one is not needed to evaluate an expression
 * using this class. However, the {@link ELContext} is needed at evaluation time.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The {@link #getValue}, {@link #setValue}, {@link #isReadOnly} and {@link #getType} methods will evaluate the
 * expression each time they are called. The {@link javax.el.ELResolver} in the <code>ELContext</code> is used to
 * resolve the top-level variables and to determine the behavior of the <code>.</code> and <code>[]</code> operators.
 * For any of the four methods, the {@link javax.el.ELResolver#getValue} method is used to resolve all properties up to
 * but excluding the last one. This provides the <code>base</code> object. At the last resolution, the
 * <code>ValueExpression</code> will call the corresponding {@link javax.el.ELResolver#getValue},
 * {@link javax.el.ELResolver#setValue}, {@link javax.el.ELResolver#isReadOnly} or {@link javax.el.ELResolver#getType}
 * method, depending on which was called on the <code>ValueExpression</code>.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * See the notes about comparison, serialization and immutability in the {@link javax.el.Expression} javadocs.
