Class Evaluator

java.lang.Object

org.apache.taglibs.standard.lang.jstl.Evaluator

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExpressionEvaluator

public class Evaluator
extends java.lang.Object
implements ExpressionEvaluator

This is the expression evaluator "adapter" that customizes it for use with the JSP Standard Tag Library. It uses a VariableResolver implementation that looks up variables from the PageContext and also implements its implicit objects. It also wraps ELExceptions in JspExceptions that describe the attribute name and value causing the error.
