Method Detail

bind

public void bind()
          throws TypeException
verify that variables mentioned in this expression are actually available in the supplied bindings list and infer/validate the type of this expression or its subexpressions where possible

Specified by:
bind in class Expression
Throws:
TypeException

typeCheck

public Type typeCheck(Type expected)
               throws TypeException
Description copied from class: Expression
ensure that all type references in the expression and its component expressions can be resolved, that the type of the expression is well-defined and that it is compatible with the type expected in the context in which it occurs.

Specified by:
typeCheck in class Expression
Parameters:
expected - the type expected for the expression in the contxet in which it occurs. this may be void but should not be undefined at the point where type checking is performed.
Throws:
TypeException

interpret

public java.lang.Object interpret(HelperAdapter helper)
                           throws ExecuteException
Description copied from class: Expression
evaluate the expression by interpreting the expression tree

Specified by:
interpret in class Expression
Parameters:
helper - an execution context associated with the rule which contains a map of current bindings for rule variables and another map of their declared types both of which are indexed by variable name. This includes entries for the helper (name "-1"), the recipient if the trigger method is not static (name "0") and the trigger method arguments (names "1", ...)
Returns:
the result of evaluation as an Object
Throws:
ExecuteException

compile

public void compile(org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor mv,
                    CompileContext compileContext)
             throws CompileException
Specified by:
compile in class RuleElement
Throws:
CompileException

getCandidateArgClass

public java.lang.Class getCandidateArgClass(java.util.List<java.lang.reflect.Method> candidates,
                                            int argIdx)

pruneCandidates

public java.util.List<java.lang.reflect.Method> pruneCandidates(java.util.List<java.lang.reflect.Method> candidates,
                                                                int argIdx,
                                                                java.lang.Class argClazz)
prune the candidates list removing all methods whose parameter at index argIdx cannto be assigned to class argClazz

Parameters:
candidates -
argIdx -
argClazz -
Returns:

bestMatchCandidate

public java.lang.reflect.Method bestMatchCandidate(java.util.List<java.lang.reflect.Method> candidates)
return the method whose signature is the best fit for the call argument types. the selection is made by counting the number of cases where the argument type matches the parameter type exactly and then the number of cases where the argument type matches the parameter type without the need for type coersion (i.e. the parameter tyoe is a supertype of the argument type)

Parameters:
candidates - a list of methods all of whose signatures are assignable from the
Returns:

getPath

public java.lang.String getPath(int len)

getPathCount

public int getPathCount(java.lang.String name)

writeTo

public void writeTo(java.io.StringWriter stringWriter)
Specified by:
writeTo in class Expression
