This commit ensures that the varargs component type for a MethodHandle
cannot be null in ReflectionHelper's
convertAllMethodHandleArguments(...) method in SpEL.
Closes gh-33193
Prior to this commit, the Spring Expression Language (SpEL) could not
invoke a varargs MethodHandle function with an array containing the
variable arguments, although that is supported for a varargs Method
function. Attempting to do so resulted in the array being supplied as a
single argument to the MethodHandle.
This commit addresses this by updating the
executeFunctionViaMethodHandle(...) method in FunctionReference as
follows when the user supplies the varargs already packaged in an array.
- Creates a new array large enough to hold the non-varargs arguments
and the unpackaged varargs arguments.
- Adds the non-varargs arguments to the beginning of that array and
adds the unpackaged varargs arguments to the end of that array.
- Invokes the MethodHandle with the new arguments array.
Closes gh-33191
Prior to this commit, the Spring Expression Language (SpEL) could not
invoke a varargs MethodHandle function with zero variable arguments,
even though the variable arguments are not required. Attempting to do
so resulted in a SpelEvaluationException with an
INCORRECT_NUMBER_OF_ARGUMENTS_TO_FUNCTION message.
This commit addresses this by updating the
executeFunctionViaMethodHandle(...) method in FunctionReference so that
it properly checks the required number of arguments for both varargs
and non-varargs MethodHandle invocations.
This commit also improves the error message for varargs invocations
with too few arguments. For example, if the MethodHandle requires at
least 1 argument plus a variable number of additional arguments and 0
arguments were supplied, the error message now states:
"Incorrect number of arguments for function 'myFunc': 0 supplied but function takes 1 or more"
Instead of:
"Incorrect number of arguments for function 'myFunc': 0 supplied but function takes 2"
Closes gh-33190
Prior to this commit, the Spring Expression Language (SpEL) incorrectly
split single String arguments by comma for Object... varargs method and
constructor invocations.
This commit addresses this by checking if the single argument type is
already "assignable" to the varargs component type instead of "equal"
to the varargs component type.
Closes gh-33013
Prior to this commit, the Spring Expression Language (SpEL) failed to
compile an expression that indexed into a Map using a primitive literal
(boolean, int, long, float, or double).
This commit adds support for compilation of such expressions by
ensuring that primitive literals are boxed into their corresponding
wrapper types in the compiled bytecode.
Closes gh-32903
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.
See gh-32694
Closes gh-32908
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, 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
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.
Closes gh-32258
To improve consistency and avoid confusion regarding primitive types
and their wrapper types, this commit ensures that we always use class
literals for primitive types.
For example, instead of using the `Void.TYPE` constant, we now
consistently use `void.class`.
