Method Detail

exec

public Object exec(List arguments)
            throws TemplateModelException

Invokes the method, passing it the arguments from the list.

Specified by:

exec in interface TemplateMethodModel

Specified by:

exec in interface TemplateMethodModelEx

Parameters:

arguments - a List of TemplateModel objects containing the values of the arguments passed to the method. If the implementation wishes to operate on POJOs that might be underlying the models, it can use the static utility methods in the DeepUnwrap class to easily obtain them.

Returns:

the return value of the method, or null. If the returned value does not implement TemplateModel, it will be automatically wrapped using the environment object wrapper.

Throws:

TemplateModelException

get

public TemplateModel get(int index)
                  throws TemplateModelException

Description copied from interface: TemplateSequenceModel

Retrieves the i-th template model in this sequence.

Specified by:

get in interface TemplateSequenceModel

Returns:

the item at the specified index, or null if the index is out of bounds. Note that a null value is interpreted by FreeMarker as "variable does not exist", and accessing a missing variables is usually considered as an error in the FreeMarker Template Language, so the usage of a bad index will not remain hidden.

Throws:

TemplateModelException

size

public int size()
         throws TemplateModelException

Specified by:

size in interface TemplateSequenceModel

Returns:

the number of items in the list.

Throws:

TemplateModelException

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getMember

protected Member getMember()
