Constant Field Values

defaultOptionValues

public static final java.util.Map defaultOptionValues

supportedOptions

public static final java.util.Set supportedOptions

exprTree

antlr.collections.AST exprTree

options

java.util.Map options

store separator etc...

wrapString

java.lang.String wrapString

A cached value of wrap=expr from the <...> expression. Computed in write(StringTemplate, StringTemplateWriter) and used in writeAttribute.

nullValue

java.lang.String nullValue

For null values in iterated attributes and single attributes that are null, use this value instead of skipping. For single valued attributes like it's a shorthand for n/a For iterated values , you get 0 for for null list values. Works for template application like: }; null="0"> also.

separatorString

java.lang.String separatorString

A cached value of separator=expr from the <...> expression. Computed in write(StringTemplate, StringTemplateWriter) and used in writeAttribute.

formatString

java.lang.String formatString

A cached value of option format=expr

ASTExpr

public ASTExpr(StringTemplate enclosingTemplate,
               antlr.collections.AST exprTree,
               java.util.Map options)

getAST

public antlr.collections.AST getAST()

Return the tree interpreted when this template is written out.

write

public int write(StringTemplate self,
                 StringTemplateWriter out)
          throws java.io.IOException

To write out the value of an ASTExpr, invoke the evaluator in eval.g to walk the tree writing out the values. For efficiency, don't compute a bunch of strings and then pack them together. Write out directly. Compute separator and wrap expressions, save as strings so we don't recompute for each value in a multi-valued attribute or expression. If they set anchor option, then inform the writer to push current char position.

Specified by:

write in class Expr

Throws:

java.io.IOException

handleExprOptions

protected void handleExprOptions(StringTemplate self)

Grab and cache options; verify options are valid

applyTemplateToListOfAttributes

public java.lang.Object applyTemplateToListOfAttributes(StringTemplate self,

                                          java.lang.Object propertyName)

Return o.getPropertyName() given o and propertyName. If o is a stringtemplate then access it's attributes looking for propertyName instead (don't check any of the enclosing scopes; look directly into that object). Also try isXXX() for booleans. Allow Map as special case (grab value for key). Cache repeated requests for obj.prop within same group.

rawGetObjectProperty

protected java.lang.Object rawGetObjectProperty(StringTemplate self,
                                                java.lang.Object o,

getMethod

protected java.lang.reflect.Method getMethod(java.lang.Class c,
                                             java.lang.String methodName)

testAttributeTrue

public boolean testAttributeTrue(java.lang.Object a)

Normally StringTemplate tests presence or absence of attributes for adherence to my principles of separation, but some people disagree and want to change. For 2.0, if the object is a boolean, do something special. $if(boolean)$ will actually test the value. Now, this breaks my rules of entanglement listed in my paper, but it truly surprises programmers to have booleans always true. Further, the key to isolating logic in the model is avoiding operators (for which you need attribute values). But, no operator is needed to use boolean values. Well, actually I guess "!" (not) is an operator. Regardless, for practical reasons, I'm going to technically violate my rules as I currently have them defined. Perhaps for a future version of the paper I will refine the rules. Post 2.1, I added a check for non-null Iterators, Collections, ... with size==0 to return false. TJP 5/1/2005

add

public java.lang.Object add(java.lang.Object a,
                            java.lang.Object b)

For now, we can only add two objects as strings; convert objects to Strings then cat.

getTemplateInclude

public StringTemplate getTemplateInclude(StringTemplate enclosing,
                                         java.lang.String templateName,
                                         StringTemplateAST argumentsAST)

Call a string template with args and return result. Do not convert to a string yet. It may need attributes that will be available after this is inserted into another template.

writeAttribute

public int writeAttribute(StringTemplate self,
                          java.lang.Object o,
                          StringTemplateWriter out)

How to spit out an object. If it's not a StringTemplate nor a List, just do o.toString(). If it's a StringTemplate, do o.write(out). If it's a Vector, do a write(out, o.elementAt(i)) for all elements. Note that if you do something weird like set the values of a multivalued tag to be vectors, it will effectively flatten it. If self is an embedded template, you might have specified a separator arg; used when is a vector.

write

protected int write(StringTemplate self,
                    java.lang.Object o,
                    StringTemplateWriter out)

evaluateExpression

protected java.lang.String evaluateExpression(StringTemplate self,
                                              java.lang.Object expr)

A expr is normally just a string literal, but is still an AST that we must evaluate. The expr can be any expression such as a template include or string cat expression etc... Evaluate with its own writer so that we can convert to string and then reuse, don't want to compute all the time; must precompute w/o writing to output buffer.

evaluateArguments

protected void evaluateArguments(StringTemplate self)

Evaluate an argument list within the context of the enclosing template but store the values in the context of self, the new embedded template. For example, bold(item=item) means that bold.item should get the value of enclosing.item.

convertArrayToList

public static java.lang.Object convertArrayToList(java.lang.Object value)

Do a standard conversion of array attributes to a List. Wrap the array instead of copying like old version. Make an ArrayWrappedInList that knows to create an ArrayIterator.

convertAnythingIteratableToIterator

protected static java.lang.Object convertAnythingIteratableToIterator(java.lang.Object o)

convertAnythingToIterator

protected static java.util.Iterator convertAnythingToIterator(java.lang.Object o)

first

public java.lang.Object first(java.lang.Object attribute)

Return the first attribute if multiple valued or the attribute itself if single-valued. Used in

rest

public java.lang.Object rest(java.lang.Object attribute)

Return the everything but the first attribute if multiple valued or null if single-valued. Used in .

last

public java.lang.Object last(java.lang.Object attribute)

Return the last attribute if multiple valued or the attribute itself if single-valued. Used in . This is pretty slow as it iterates until the last element. Ultimately, I could make a special case for a List or Vector.

strip

public java.lang.Object strip(java.lang.Object attribute)

Return a new list w/o null values.

trunc

public java.lang.Object trunc(java.lang.Object attribute)

Return all but the last element. trunc(x)=null if x is single-valued.

length

public java.lang.Object length(java.lang.Object attribute)

Return the length of a multiple valued attribute or 1 if it is a single attribute. If attribute is null return 0. Special case several common collections and primitive arrays for speed. This method by Kay Roepke.

getOption

public java.lang.Object getOption(java.lang.String name)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()
