Method Detail

isLiteral

public boolean isLiteral()

If it's literal text

Returns:

true if the String is literal (doesn't contain #{..} or ${..})

apply

public ELText apply(javax.el.ExpressionFactory factory,
                    javax.el.ELContext ctx)

Return an instance of this that is applicable given the ELContext and ExpressionFactory state.

Parameters:

factory - the ExpressionFactory to use

ctx - the ELContext to use

Returns:

an ELText instance

write

public void write(Writer out,
                  javax.el.ELContext ctx)
           throws javax.el.ELException,
                  IOException

Allow this instance to write to the passed Writer, given the ELContext state

Parameters:

out - Writer to write to

ctx - current ELContext state

Throws:

javax.el.ELException

IOException

writeText

public void writeText(javax.faces.context.ResponseWriter out,
                      javax.el.ELContext ctx)
               throws javax.el.ELException,
                      IOException

Throws:

javax.el.ELException

IOException

toString

public String toString(javax.el.ELContext ctx)
                throws javax.el.ELException

Evaluates the ELText to a String

Parameters:

ctx - current ELContext state

Returns:

the evaluated String

Throws:

javax.el.ELException

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

isLiteral

public static boolean isLiteral(String in)

Parses the passed string to determine if it's literal or not

Parameters:

in - input String

Returns:

true if the String is literal (doesn't contain #{..} or ${..})

parse

public static ELText parse(String in)
                    throws javax.el.ELException

Factory method for creating an unvalidated ELText instance. NOTE: All expressions in the passed String are treated as ELText.LiteralValueExpression, with one exception: composite component expressions. These are treated as ContextualCompositeValueExpressions.

Parameters:

in - String to parse

Returns:

ELText instance that knows if the String was literal or not

Throws:

javax.el.ELException

parse

public static ELText parse(String in,
                           String alias)
                    throws javax.el.ELException

Throws:

javax.el.ELException

parse

public static ELText parse(javax.el.ExpressionFactory fact,
                           javax.el.ELContext ctx,
                           String in)
                    throws javax.el.ELException

Throws:

javax.el.ELException

parse

public static ELText parse(javax.el.ExpressionFactory fact,
                           javax.el.ELContext ctx,
                           String in,
                           String alias)
                    throws javax.el.ELException

Factory method for creating a validated ELText instance. When an Expression is hit, it will use the ExpressionFactory to create a ValueExpression instance, resolving any functions at that time.

Variables and properties will not be evaluated.

Parameters:

fact - ExpressionFactory to use

ctx - ELContext to validate against

in - String to parse

Returns:

ELText that can be re-applied later

Throws:

javax.el.ELException
