operator overloading / hooks on operator processing
---------------------------------------------------
Key: JEXL-21
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-21
Project: Commons JEXL
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: AC
I'd like to use JEXL for a website framework. In order to make the scripting
code easy readable it would be nice to let the users add hooks in the
expression processing.
such a hook would allow me to add Date operators for example: Date and
Durations addition/substraction.
that would've been very easy for me to implement if I had access to the
processing done in let's say ASTAddNode class.
An easy way to do it is to add a method in the parser like
registerHook(Class astNodeClass, SimpleNode hook)
in ExpressionImpl.evaluate we call node.implValue instead of value. This method
can check if hooks where registered for the class and call for each hook.value
before calling the value of the node itself.
For perfomance reasons the list of these hooks can be stored by the each
SimpleNode in the constructor SimpleNode(Parser p, int i)
that's it, thanks
