NestedAttributeExpression

public NestedAttributeExpression(XPathUtil.StepList xpath,
                                 NestedAttributeMapping nestedMapping)

First constructor

Parameters:

xpath - Attribute XPath

expressions - List of broken up expressions

Method Detail

evaluate

public Object evaluate(Object object)

see AttributeExpressionImpl.evaluate(Object)

Specified by:

evaluate in interface Expression

Overrides:

evaluate in class AttributeExpressionImpl

Parameters:

object - Object from which we need to extract a property value.

Returns:

default implementation returns null

accept

public Object accept(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                     Object extraData)

Description copied from class: AttributeExpressionImpl

Used by FilterVisitors to perform some action on this filter instance. Typicaly used by Filter decoders, but may also be used by any thing which needs infomration from filter structure. Implementations should always call: visitor.visit(this); It is importatant that this is not left to a parent class unless the parents API is identical.

Specified by:

accept in interface Expression

Overrides:

accept in class AttributeExpressionImpl

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor which requires access to this filter, the method must call visitor.visit(this);
