+/**
+ * This class is used for evaluating expressions which takes multiple
parameter object and the result is returned for that expression.
+ *
+ * The way to reference a variable in an object is ${placeholder.varname}.
+ * The variable will be resolved to its accessible variable or getter
method in order. After this the variable can be used as if its a Java variable.
+ *
+ * ExpressionEvaluator also allows you to set extra imports that needs to
be added over default is java.lang.*
+ *
+ * ExpressionEvaluator needs to be configured with following
configurations as minimal configuration:
+ * 1. Mapping of input object place holders to it corresponding types.
+ * This can be done with setInputObjectPlaceholders method.
+ * 2. Return type of of expression evaluation.
+ * 3. Expression to be evaluated. This is a standard java expression
except for referencing the variable inside object JEL syntax needs to be used
i.e. ${objectPlaceHolder.varName}
+ *
+ * Expression cab be defined as per JSL 7 syntax:
