Method Detail

### isValueReference

    public static boolean isValueReference(String value)

  Get EL-enabled value. Return same string, if not el-expression. Otherthise, return parsed and evaluated expression.

  Parameters:
    `context` - - current Faces Context.
    `value` - - string to parse.
  Returns:
    - interpreted el or unmodified value.

### createValueExpression

    public static javax.el.ValueExpression createValueExpression(String expression)

  Create a `ValueExpression` with the expected type of `Object.class`

  Parameters:
    `expression` - an EL expression
  Returns:
    a new `ValueExpression` instance based off the provided `valueRef`

### createValueExpression

    public static javax.el.ValueExpression createValueExpression(String expression,
                                                                 Class<?> expectedType)

  Creates value expression from string and stores expression's expected type

  Parameters:
    `expression` - string with EL expressions
    `expectedType` - the type expected from expression after evaluation
  Returns:
    value expression from string and stores expression's expected type

### evaluateValueExpression

    public static Object evaluateValueExpression(javax.el.ValueExpression expression,
                                                 javax.el.ELContext elContext)

### createValueExpression

    public static javax.el.ValueExpression createValueExpression(javax.faces.context.FacesContext context,
                                                                 String expression,
                                                                 boolean literal,
                                                                 Class<?> expectedType)

  Creates value expression from string and stores expression's expected type.

  If the literal is provided, constant value expression is used instead.

  Parameters:
    `context` - current `FacesContext`
    `expression` - string with EL expressions
    `literal` - determined if the literal value is required
    `expectedType` - the type expected from expression after evaluation
  Returns:
    value expression from string and stores expression's expected type

### coerce

    public static <T> T coerce(Object value,
                               Class<T> targetType)

  Coerce the given object to targetType.

  Parameters:
    `value` - object to be coerced
    `targetType` - which should be object coerced into
  Returns:
    the given value coerced to targetType
