Method Details

getExpression

public String getExpression()

Description copied from interface: IExpr

This method will return the original expression string from which the expression was parsed.

Specified by:

getExpression in interface IExpr

Returns:

The original expression string.

isMultivalue

public boolean isMultivalue()

Description copied from interface: IExpr

This method will return a boolean indicating if the result of an evaluation of the expression may contain multiple values. Expression which can result in multiple values, will always return a list value as result.

Specified by:

isMultivalue in interface IExpr

Returns:

Boolean indicating if the result can consist of multiple values.

getResultType

public DataType getResultType()

Description copied from interface: IExpr

This method will return the data type of the result.

Specified by:

getResultType in interface IExpr

Returns:

the data type of the result.

getTypeName

public String getTypeName()

Description copied from interface: IExpr

Returns the type name of the result type. This type can either be the entity's name or the domain's name, or null when the value isn't bound to a specific type.

Specified by:

getTypeName in interface IExpr

Returns:

the type name of the result type.

getScopeObjects

public String[] getScopeObjects()

Description copied from interface: IExpr

Returns the root variables which are used from the profile. When the expression does not use any scoped objects, this method will return an empty array.

Specified by:

getScopeObjects in interface IExpr

Returns:

Array containing the names of the objects that need to be in scope.

evaluate

public IValue evaluate(IValueSource source)

Description copied from interface: IExpr

This method will evaluate the expression for the context (source) provided.
Note: This method might return a null value indicating the result of the expression is unknown. IF a THEN b<null value unexpected> ELSE c

Specified by:

evaluate in interface IExpr

Parameters:

source - Object containing context information that should be used during evaluation.

Returns:

The result of the expression.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
