/**
* Provides an API for using Jakarta Expression Language in a stand-alone environment.
*
*
* This class provides a direct and simple interface for
*
* - Evaluating Jakarta Expression Language expressions.
* - Assigning values to beans or setting a bean property.
* - Setting a {@link ValueExpression} to a Jakarta Expression Language variable.
* - Defining a static method as Jakarta Expression Language function.
* - Defining an object instance as Jakarta Expression Language name.
*
*
*
* This API is not a replacement for the APIs in Jakarta Expression Language 2.2. Containers that maintain Jakarta
* Expression Language environments can continue to do so, without using this API.
*
*
* For Jakarta Expression Language users who want to manipulate Jakarta Expression Language environments, like adding
* custom {@link ELResolver}s, {@link ELManager} can be used.
*
*
Scope and Life Cycle
*
* Since it maintains the state of the Jakarta Expression Language environments, ELProcessor is not thread
* safe. In the simplest case, an instance can be created and destroyed before and after evaluating Jakarta Expression
* Language expressions. A more general usage is to use an instance of ELProcessor for a session, so that
* the user can configure the Jakarta Expression Language evaluation environment for that session.
*
*
* Automatic Bracketing of Expressions
*
* A note about the Jakarta Expression Language expressions strings used in the class. The strings allowed in the methods
* {@link ELProcessor#getValue}, {@link ELProcessor#setValue}, and {@link ELProcessor#setVariable} are limited to
* non-composite expressions, i.e. expressions of the form ${...} or #{...} only. Also, it is not necessary (in fact not
* allowed) to bracket the expression strings with ${ or #{ and } in these methods: they will be automatically
* bracketed. This reduces the visual cluster, without any lost of functionalities (thanks to the addition of the
* concatenation operator).
*
*
Example
The following code snippet illustrates the use of ELProcessor to define a bean and evaluate its
* property.
*
*
* ELProcessor elp = new ELProcessor();
* elp.defineBean("employee", new Employee("Charlie Brown"));
* String name = elp.eval("employee.name");
*
*
*
*
* @since Jakarta Expression Language 3.0
