Class Indexer
Indexer can index into some proceeding structure to access a
 particular element of the structure.
 Numerical index values are zero-based, such as when accessing the nth element of an array in Java.
Supported Structures
- Arrays: the nth element
- Collections (lists, sets, etc.): the nth element
- Strings: the nth character as a String
- Maps: the value for the specified key
- Objects: the property with the specified name
- Custom Structures: via registered IndexAccessorimplementations
Null-safe Indexing
As of Spring Framework 6.2, null-safe indexing is supported via the '?.'
 operator. For example, 'colors?.[0]' will evaluate to null if
 colors is null and will otherwise evaluate to the 0th
 color.

Method Details- 
isNullSafepublic final boolean isNullSafe()Does this node represent a null-safe index operation?- Overrides:
- isNullSafein class- SpelNodeImpl
- Returns:
- trueif this node is the target of a null-safe operation
- Since:
- 6.2
 
- 
getValueInternal- Specified by:
- getValueInternalin class- SpelNodeImpl
- Throws:
- EvaluationException
 
- 
setValueInternalpublic TypedValue setValueInternal(ExpressionState state, Supplier<TypedValue> valueSupplier) throws EvaluationException Description copied from class:SpelNodeImplEvaluate the expression to a node and then set the new value created by the specifiedSupplieron that node.For example, if the expression evaluates to a property reference, then the property will be set to the new value. Favor this method over SpelNodeImpl.setValue(ExpressionState, Object)when the value should be lazily computed.By default, this method throws a SpelEvaluationException, effectively disabling this feature. Subclasses may override this method to provide an actual implementation.- Overrides:
- setValueInternalin class- SpelNodeImpl
- Parameters:
- state- the current expression state (includes the context)
- valueSupplier- a supplier of the new value
- Throws:
- EvaluationException- if any problem occurs evaluating the expression or setting the new value
 
- 
isWritableDescription copied from interface:SpelNodeDetermine if this expression node will support a setValue() call.- Specified by:
- isWritablein interface- SpelNode
- Overrides:
- isWritablein class- SpelNodeImpl
- Parameters:
- expressionState- the current expression state (includes the context)
- Returns:
- true if the expression node will allow setValue()
- Throws:
- SpelEvaluationException
 
- 
getValueRef- Overrides:
- getValueRefin class- SpelNodeImpl
- Throws:
- EvaluationException
 
- 
isCompilablepublic boolean isCompilable()Description copied from interface:SpelNodeDetermine if this node can be compiled to bytecode.The reasoning in each node may be different but will typically involve checking whether the exit type descriptor of the node is known and any relevant child nodes are compilable. The default implementation returns false.If you override this method, you must also override SpelNode.generateCode(MethodVisitor, CodeFlow).- Returns:
- trueif this node can be compiled to bytecode
- See Also:
 
- 
generateCodeDescription copied from interface:SpelNodeGenerate the bytecode for this node into the suppliedMethodVisitor.Context information about the current expression being compiled is available in the supplied CodeFlowobject — for example, information about the type of the object currently on the stack.This method will not be invoked unless SpelNode.isCompilable()returnstrue.The default implementation throws an IllegalStateExceptionsinceSpelNode.isCompilable()returnsfalseby default.If you override this method, you must also override SpelNode.isCompilable().- Parameters:
- mv- the ASM- MethodVisitorinto which code should be generated
- cf- a context object with information about what is on the stack
- See Also:
 
- 
toStringASTDescription copied from interface:SpelNodeReturn the string form of this AST node.- Returns:
- the string form
