Method Detail

modifyValue

void modifyValue(ProcessExecutionContext pContext,
                 int pOperator,
                 java.lang.Object pModifierValue)
                 throws ProcessException

Modifies the data pointed to by the expression, using the given process execution context to resolve the pointer. For example, if the expression represents a subject property, that property is modified in the subject pointed to by the context.

This method should be called only if the process execution context is known to contain all the information necessary to resolve and modify the expression (in other words, if Expression.canGetValue returns true).

Parameters:

pOperator - one of OPERATOR_ASSIGN, OPERATOR_APPEND, OPERATOR_APPEND_ONCE, OPERATOR_APPEND_ALL, OPERATOR_ADD, and OPERATOR_SUBTRACT; OPERATOR_APPEND, OPERATOR_APPEND_ONCE, and OPERATOR_APPEND_ALL should only be used if the expression evaluates to an array/List/Set; OPERATOR_ADD and OPERATOR_SUBTRACT should only be used if the expression evaluates to a Number

pModifierValue - the value used to modify the current value, according to the given operator; the type of the value should be compatible with the type of the evaluated expression and the operator

Throws:

ProcessException - if the expression could not be resolved, or the value could not be modified, for example because the given operator or modifier value is invalid for this expression
