This commit introduces support for compiling SpEL expressions that
contain varargs invocations where the supplied array is a subtype of
the declared varargs array type.
See gh-32804
Prior to this commit, an IndexAccessor could not provide support for a
Collection target type, since the built-in support for indexing into a
Collection in SpEL's Indexer took precedence.
This commit allows an IndexAccessor to support custom Collection target
types by separating the built-in List and Collection support and
applying the built-in Collection support after custom index accessors
have been applied.
Closes gh-32736
This commit introduces ReflectiveIndexAccessor for the Spring
Expression Language (SpEL) which is somewhat analogous to the
ReflectivePropertyAccessor implementation of PropertyAccessor.
ReflectiveIndexAccessor is a flexible IndexAccessor implementation that
uses reflection to read from and optionally write to an indexed
structure of a target object. ReflectiveIndexAccessor also implements
CompilableIndexAccessor in order to support compilation to bytecode for
read access.
For example, the following creates a read-write IndexAccessor for a
FruitMap type that is indexed by Color, including built-in support for
compilation to bytecode for read access.
IndexAccessor indexAccessor = new ReflectiveIndexAccessor(
FruitMap.class, Color.class, "getFruit", "setFruit");
Closes gh-32714
This commit introduces a new CompilableIndexAccessor SPI for the Spring
Expression Language (SpEL) which allows an IndexAccessor to support
compilation to bytecode for operations that read an index.
This analogous to the CompilablePropertyAccessor SPI.
This commit also includes a prototype for a general purpose
ReflectiveIndexAccessor in the tests.
Closes gh-32613
In order to make SpelNode compilation aware, this method moves the
declaration of isCompilable() and generateCode(...) from SpelNodeImpl
to SpelNode.
Closes gh-32707
Prior to this commit, the Spring Expression Language (SpEL) failed to
compile an expression that indexed into any array or list using an
Integer.
This commit adds support for compilation of such expressions by
ensuring that an Integer is unboxed into an int in the compiled
bytecode.
Closes gh-32694
Prior to this commit, the read() method in the IndexAccessor SPI
declared a return type of ValueRef which introduced a package cycle.
This commit addresses this by aligning with the PropertyAccess SPI and
returning TypedValue from IndexAccessor's read() method. This commit
also reworks the internals of Indexer based on a new, local
IndexAccessorValueRef implementation.
See gh-26409

Prior to this commit, SpEL's CompoundExpression omitted the null-safe
syntax in AST string representations of indexing operations.
To address this, this commit implements isNullSafe() in Indexer.
See gh-29847
Prior to this commit, SpEL's CompoundExpression omitted the null-safe
syntax in AST string representations of the selection and projection
operators.
To address this, this commit implements isNullSafe() in Projection and
Selection.
Closes gh-32515
Prior to this commit, MethodReference and PropertyOrFieldReference
already defined local isNullSafe() methods, but we need identical
methods in Selection, Projection, and Indexer, and we may potentially
need null-safe support for additional operators in the future.
To address the common need for an is-null-safe check, this commit
introduces an isNullSafe() method in SpelNodeImpl with a default
implementation that returns false.
Closes gh-32516
Prior to this commit, the SpEL compiler generated classes in a package
named "spel" with names following the pattern "Ex#", where # was an
index starting with 2.
This resulted in class names such as:
- spel.Ex2
- spel.Ex3
This commit improves the names of classes created by the SpEL compiler
by generating classes in a package named
"org.springframework.expression.spel.generated" with names following
the pattern "CompiledExpression#####", where ##### is a 0-padded
counter starting with 00001.
This results in class names such as:
- org.springframework.expression.spel.generated.CompiledExpression00001
- org.springframework.expression.spel.generated.CompiledExpression00002
This commit also moves the saveGeneratedClassFile() method from
SpelCompilationCoverageTests to SpelCompiler and enhances it to:
- Save classes in a "build/generated-classes" directory.
- Convert package names to directories.
- Create missing parent directories.
- Use logging instead of System.out.println().
Running a test with saveGeneratedClassFile() enabled now logs something
similar to the following.
DEBUG o.s.e.s.s.SpelCompiler - Saving compiled SpEL expression [(#root.empty ? 0 : #root.size)] to [/Users/<username>/spring-framework/spring-expression/build/generated-classes/org/springframework/expression/spel/generated/CompiledExpression00001.class]
Closes gh-32497
This commit moves findPublicDeclaringClass() from ReflectionHelper to
CodeFlow, since findPublicDeclaringClass() is only used for bytecode
generation and therefore not for reflection-based invocations.
It was never necessary for SpEL's OptimalPropertyAccessor to be public.
Instead, clients should interact with OptimalPropertyAccessor
exclusively via the CompilablePropertyAccessor API.
In light of that, this commit makes SpEL's OptimalPropertyAccessor
private.
Closes gh-32410
Commit c79436f832 ensured that methods are invoked via a public
interface or public superclass when compiling Spring Expression
Language (SpEL) expressions involving method references or property
access (see MethodReference, PropertyOrFieldReference, and
collaborating support classes). However, compilation of expressions
that access properties by indexing into an object by property name is
still not properly supported in all scenarios.
To address those remaining use cases, this commit ensures that methods
are invoked via a public interface or public superclass when accessing
a property by indexing into an object by the property name – for
example, `person['name']` instead of `person.name`.
In addition, SpEL's Indexer now properly relies on the
CompilablePropertyAccessor abstraction instead of hard-coding support
for only OptimalPropertyAccessor. This greatly reduces the complexity
of the Indexer and simultaneously allows the Indexer to potentially
support other CompilablePropertyAccessor implementations.
Closes gh-29857
Although the Spring Expression Language (SpEL) generally does a good
job of locating the public declaring class or interface on which to
invoke a method in a compiled expression, prior to this commit there
were still a few unsupported use cases.
To address those remaining use cases, this commit ensures that methods
are invoked via a public interface or public superclass whenever
possible when compiling SpEL expressions.
See gh-29857
Prior to this commit, if a Spring Expression Language (SpEL) expression
referenced the root context object via the #root or #this variable, we
inserted a checkcast in the generated byte code that cast the object to
its concrete type. However if the root context object's type was
non-public, that resulted in an IllegalAccessError when the compiled
byte code was executed.
VariableReference.getValueInternal() already contains a solution for
global variables which inserts a checkcast to Object in the generated
byte code instead of to the object's concrete non-public type.
This commit therefore applies the same logic to #root (or #this when
used to reference the root context object) that is already applied to
global variables.
Closes gh-32356
Prior to this commit, the reference manual only documented indexing
support for arrays, lists, and maps.
This commit improves the overall documentation for SpEL's property
navigation and indexing support and introduces additional documentation
for indexing into Strings and Objects.
Closes gh-32355
Since the Spring Expression Language does not actually support local
variables in expressions, this commit deprecates all public APIs
related to local variables in ExpressionState (namely, the two
enterScope(...) variants that accept local variable data,
setLocalVariable(), and lookupLocalVariable()).
In addition, we no longer invoke `state.enterScope("index", ...)` in
the Projection and Selection AST nodes since the $index local variable
was never accessible within expressions anyway.
See gh-23202
Closes gh-32004
Although EvaluationContext defines the API for setting and looking up
variables, the internals of the Spring Expression Language (SpEL)
actually provide explicit support for registering functions as
variables.
This is self-evident in the two registerFunction() variants in
StandardEvaluationContext; however, functions can also be registered as
variables when using the SimpleEvaluationContext.
Since custom functions are also viable in use cases involving the
SimpleEvaluationContext, this commit documents that functions may be
registered in a SimpleEvaluationContext via setVariable().
This commit also explicitly documents the "function as a variable"
behavior in the class-level Javadoc for both StandardEvaluationContext
and SimpleEvaluationContext, as well as in the reference manual.
