abstract class representing an evaluable expression. this is used in all 3 elements of ECA rules:
as the value part of each of the event bindings in the binding list comprising an ECA rule event;
as the condition expression of an ECA rule condition;and as an element of the actions list in an
ECA rule action.

Expression
Create a new expression.- Parameters:
rule
- the rule for this expressiontype
- the type for this expressiontoken
- the token for this expression
-
-
Method Details
-
bind
verify that variables mentioned in this expression are actually available in the rule bindings list- Throws:
TypeException
- if any variable is missing or has the wrong type
-
getPos
-
getType
-
typeCheck
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 classRuleElement
- 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.- Returns:
- the type of the expression
- Throws:
TypeException
- if a type check failure occurs
-
interpret
evaluate the expression by interpreting the expression tree- Specified by:
interpret
in classRuleElement
- 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
- if an error occurs during execution
