[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBSEAM-3092) add convenience methods on Expressions
add convenience methods on Expressions
--------------------------------------
Key: JBSEAM-3092
URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3092
Project: Seam
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 2.1.0.A1
Reporter: Dan Allen
Assigned To: Dan Allen
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.1.0.BETA1
For how often EL is needed, it sure would be nice to make it a little easier to evaluate
from Java code. I propose the folllwing three methods on Expressions (which come from
BaseSeamTest):
/**
* Call a method binding
*/
public Object invokeMethod(String methodExpression) {
return createMethodExpression(methodExpression).invoke();
}
/**
* Evaluate (get) a value binding
*/
public Object getValue(String valueExpression) {
return createValueExpression(valueExpression).getValue();
}
/**
* Set a value binding
*/
public void setValue(String valueExpression, Object value) {
createValueExpression(valueExpression).setValue(value);
}
You could even make the case for them being static:
public static Object invokeMethod(String methodExpression) {
return Expressions.instance().createMethodExpression(methodExpression).invoke();
}
public static Object getValue(String valueExpression) {
return Expressions.instance().createValueExpression(valueExpression).getValue();
}
public static void setValue(String valueExpression, Object value) {
Expressions.instance().createValueExpression(valueExpression).setValue(value);
}
