Method Details

create

public static ExpressionBranch create(ExpressionNode[] successBlock)

Creates a new expression branch - always succeed, one success block.

Parameters:

successBlock - the block to use on conditional success.

Returns:

a new expression branch node.

create

public static ExpressionBranch create(ExpressionNode[] conditional,
 ExpressionNode[] successBlock)

Creates a new expression branch, no failure block.

Parameters:

conditional - the conditional block. Must end in a directive that leaves a value on the stack.

successBlock - the block to use on conditional success.

Returns:

a new expression branch node.

create

public static ExpressionBranch create(ExpressionNode[] conditional,
 ExpressionNode[] successBlock,
 ExpressionNode[] failureBlock)

Creates a new expression branch, no failure block.

Parameters:

conditional - the conditional block. Must end in a directive that leaves a value on the stack.

successBlock - the block to use on conditional success.

failureBlock - the block to use on conditional failure.

Returns:

a new expression branch node.

isCollapsable

public boolean isCollapsable()

Description copied from interface: ExpressionNode

Checks if this node is collapsable.

Specified by:

isCollapsable in interface ExpressionNode

Returns:

true if so, false if not.

execute

public boolean execute(ExpressionStack stack,
 ExpressionVariableContext context)

Description copied from interface: ExpressionNode

Executes this node.

Specified by:

execute in interface ExpressionNode

Parameters:

stack - the stack to use.

context - the context for added variables.

Returns:

if false, stop expression calculation, else if true, continue.

writeBytes

public void writeBytes(OutputStream out)
                throws IOException

Description copied from interface: ExpressionNode

Write value as bytes (for digest later).

Specified by:

writeBytes in interface ExpressionNode

Parameters:

out - the output stream.

Throws:

IOException - on a write error.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
