Field Detail

strictRef

public boolean strictRef

Indicates if we are running in strict reference mode.

toStringNullCheck

public boolean toStringNullCheck

Indicates if toString() should be called during condition evaluation just to ensure it does not return null. Check is unnecessary if all toString() implementations are known to have non-null return values. Disabling the check will give a performance improval since toString() may be a complex operation on large objects.

Constructor Detail

ASTReference

public ASTReference(int id)

Parameters:

id -

ASTReference

public ASTReference(VmParser p,
                    int id)

Parameters:

p -

id -

Method Detail

jjtAccept

public java.lang.Object jjtAccept(VmParserVisitor visitor,
                                  java.lang.Object data)

Description copied from interface: VmNode

Accept the visitor. *

Specified by:

jjtAccept in interface VmNode

Overrides:

jjtAccept in class AbstractVmNode

getRootString

public java.lang.String getRootString()

Returns the 'root string', the reference key

Returns:

the root string.

setLiteral

public void setLiteral(java.lang.String literal)

Routine to allow the literal representation to be externally overridden. Used now in the VM system to override a reference in a VM tree with the literal of the calling arg to make it work nicely when calling arg is null. It seems a bit much, but does keep things consistant. Note, you can only set the literal once...

Parameters:

literal - String to render to when null

literal

public java.lang.String literal()

Override of the SimpleNode method literal() Returns the literal representation of the node. Should be something like $<token>.

Overrides:

literal in class AbstractVmNode

Returns:

A literal string.
