Method Detail

evaluate

public ValueExpression evaluate(java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> context)

Evaluates an expression with a given context.

Parameters:

context - A map with known variables, will be used to resolve variables within the expression.

Returns:

An expression with each variable references exchanged by the corresponding values in the context.

evaluate
