public class ExpressionEvaluator
extends ScriptEvaluator
implements IExpressionEvaluator

This IExpressionEvaluator is implemented by creating and compiling a temporary compilation unit defining one class with one static method with one RETURN statement.

A number of "convenience constructors" exist that execute the set-up steps described for IExpressionEvaluator instantly.

If the parameter and return types of the expression are known at compile time, then a "fast" expression evaluator can be instantiated through createFastExpressionEvaluator(String, Class, String[], ClassLoader). Expression evaluation is faster than through ScriptEvaluator.evaluate(Object[]), because it is not done through reflection but through direct method invocation.

Example:

 public interface Foo {
     int bar(int a, int b);
 }
 ...
 Foo f = (Foo) ExpressionEvaluator.createFastExpressionEvaluator(
     "a + b",                    // expression to evaluate
     Foo.class,                  // interface that describes the expression's signature
     new String[] { "a", "b" },  // the parameters' names
     (ClassLoader) null          // Use current thread's context class loader
 );
 System.out.println("1 + 2 = " + f.bar(1, 2)); // Evaluate the expression
 
Notice: The interfaceToImplement must either be declared public, or with package scope in the root package (i.e. "no" package).

On my system (Intel P4, 2 GHz, MS Windows XP, JDK 1.4.1), expression "x + 1" evaluates as follows:

Server JVMClient JVM
Normal EE23.7 ns64.0 ns
Fast EE31.2 ns42.2 ns
(How can it be that interface method invocation is slower than reflection for the server JVM?)

Method Detail

setExpressionType

public void setExpressionType(java.lang.Class expressionType)
Description copied from interface: IExpressionEvaluator
Define the type of the expression. The special type IExpressionEvaluator.ANY_TYPE allows the expression to return any type (primitive or reference).

If expressionType is Void.TYPE, then the expression must be an invocation of a void method.

Defaults to IExpressionEvaluator.ANY_TYPE.

Specified by:
setExpressionType in interface IExpressionEvaluator

setExpressionTypes

public void setExpressionTypes(java.lang.Class[] expressionTypes)
Specified by:
setExpressionTypes in interface IExpressionEvaluator

getDefaultReturnType
