I have this class hierarchy
StudentClass .java
public class StudentClass {
private List<Student> studentList;
public List<Student> getStudentList() {
return studentList;
}
public void setStudentList(List<Student> studentList) {
this.studentList = studentList;
}
}
Student.java
public class Student {
private Child child;
private int studAge;
public Student(Child child, int studAge) {
this.child = child;
this.studAge = studAge;
}
public Child getChild() {
return child;
}
public void setChild(Child child) {
this.child = child;
}
public int getStudAge() {
return studAge;
}
public void setStudAge(int studAge) {
this.studAge = studAge;
}
}
Child.java
public class Child {
private String name;
private int age;
public Child(String name, int age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}
}
Main class
Through some logic i build this expression to execute through MVEL. This piece of code works fine when child2 is null, but when child1 is null it gives below error.
This is a valid scenario, and it is just a replica of my entities from my application. Child might come as null inside Parent.
Issue only comes when object is null at index 0 , rest all indexes it works fine, even if at index 1 it is null, and index 0 fails if condition, then it will execute at index 2
public class MvelTest {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
String s = "if(contextObjectStudentClass.?studentList != null ){ foreach ( loopVariable0 : contextObjectStudentClass.?studentList){if ( loopVariable0.?child.?age==21 ){return loopVariable0.?child.?name ;}}}return null ;";
Child child2 = new Child("ankur", 23);
Child child1 = null;
Child child3 = new Child("ankurs", 21);
Student s1 = new Student(child1, 21);
Student s2 = new Student(child2, 23);
Student s3 = new Student(child3, 27);
List<Student> studentList = new ArrayList<Student>();
studentList.add(s1);
studentList.add(s2);
studentList.add(s3);
StudentClass class1 = new StudentClass();
class1.setStudentList(studentList);
Map map = new HashMap();
map.put("contextObjectStudentClass", class1);
System.out.println(MVEL.eval(s, map));
}
}
