Class ProcessingDecorator

java.lang.Object
  de.intarsys.tools.expression.ProcessingDecorator

All Implemented Interfaces:

IStringEvaluator

public class ProcessingDecorator
extends Object
implements IStringEvaluator

A decorating IStringEvaluator to add result processing support to an other embedded IStringEvaluator. The command to be performed is separated from the expression to be processed by a ":" character.

You can suffix the original expression by as many commands as you like, for example

 my ${var:*:dts}
 

will recursivly expand "var" and apply a conversion to a short time format afterwards.

Currently we support processing the evaluated result with the following command characters:

?[expression]

return the evaluated result if expression is true, null otherwise. Currently only expressions representing access to boolean arguments are supported

.

reflective access to the value returned by the decorated evaluation

#

perform the named functor (action) on the result

+

re - perform evaluation on the result one time

*

perform evaluation on the result until it is no longer changed (or null)

[char][formatting options]

perform the string formatting selected by the "char"

[empty]

perform the default string formatting
