Rule implementation that calls a method on an object on the stack
* (normally the top/parent object), passing arguments collected from
* subsequent CallParamRule
rules or from the body of this
* element.
By using {@link #CallMethodRule(String methodName)} * a method call can be made to a method which accepts no * arguments.
* *Incompatible method parameter types are converted
* using org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConvertUtils
.
*
This rule now uses {@link MethodUtils#invokeMethod} by default.
* This increases the kinds of methods successfully and allows primitives
* to be matched by passing in wrapper classes.
* There are rare cases when {@link MethodUtils#invokeExactMethod}
* (the old default) is required.
* This method is much stricter in it's reflection.
* Setting the UseExactMatch
to true reverts to the use of this
* method.
Note that the target method is invoked when the end of * the tag the CallMethodRule fired on is encountered, not when the * last parameter becomes available. This implies that rules which fire on * tags nested within the one associated with the CallMethodRule will * fire before the CallMethodRule invokes the target method. This behaviour is * not configurable.
* *Note also that if a CallMethodRule is expecting exactly one parameter * and that parameter is not available (eg CallParamRule is used with an * attribute name but the attribute does not exist) then the method will * not be invoked. If a CallMethodRule is expecting more than one parameter, * then it is always invoked, regardless of whether the parameters were * available or not; missing parameters are converted to the appropriate target * type by calling ConvertUtils.convert. Note that the default ConvertUtils * converters for the String type returns a null when passed a null, meaning * that CallMethodRule will passed null for all String parameters for which * there is no parameter info available from the XML. However parameters of * type Float and Integer will be passed a real object containing a zero value * as that is the output of the default ConvertUtils converters for those * types when passed a null. You can register custom converters to change * this behaviour; see the beautils library documentation for more info.
* *Note that when a constructor is used with paramCount=0, indicating that * the body of the element is to be passed to the target method, an empty * element will cause an empty string to be passed to the target method, * not null. And if automatic type conversion is being applied (ie if the * target function takes something other than a string as a parameter) then * the conversion will fail if the converter class does not accept an empty * string as valid input.
* *CallMethodRule has a design flaw which can cause it to fail under * certain rule configurations. All CallMethodRule instances share a single * parameter stack, and all CallParamRule instances simply store their data * into the parameter-info structure that is on the top of the stack. This * means that two CallMethodRule instances cannot be associated with the * same pattern without getting scrambled parameter data. This same issue * also applies when a CallMethodRule matches some element X, a different * CallMethodRule matches a child element Y and some of the CallParamRules * associated with the first CallMethodRule match element Y or one of its * child elements. This issue has been present since the very first release * of Digester. Note, however, that this configuration of CallMethodRule * instances is not commonly required.
