Method Detail

translateVariables

public static String translateVariables(String expression,
                                        ValueStack stack)

Converts all instances of ${...}, and %{...} in expression to the value returned by a call to ValueStack.findValue(java.lang.String). If an item cannot be found on the stack (null is returned), then the entire variable ${...} is not displayed, just as if the item was on the stack but returned an empty string.

Parameters:

expression - an expression that hasn't yet been translated

Returns:

the parsed expression

translateVariables

public static String translateVariables(String expression,
                                        ValueStack stack,
                                        TextParseUtil.ParsedValueEvaluator evaluator)

Function similarly as translateVariables(char, String, ValueStack) except for the introduction of an additional evaluator that allows the parsed value to be evaluated by the evaluator. The evaluator could be null, if it is it will just be skipped as if it is just calling translateVariables(char, String, ValueStack).

A typical use-case would be when we need to URL Encode the parsed value. To do so we could just supply a URLEncodingEvaluator for example.

Parameters:

expression -

stack -

evaluator - The parsed Value evaluator (could be null).

Returns:

the parsed (and possibly evaluated) variable String.

translateVariables

public static String translateVariables(char open,
                                        String expression,
                                        ValueStack stack)

Converts all instances of ${...} in expression to the value returned by a call to ValueStack.findValue(java.lang.String). If an item cannot be found on the stack (null is returned), then the entire variable ${...} is not displayed, just as if the item was on the stack but returned an empty string.

Parameters:

open -

expression -

stack -

Returns:

Translated variable String

translateVariables

public static Object translateVariables(char open,
                                        String expression,

                                        Class asType)
