Class ParameterMacroExpression<T>

java.lang.Object
com.tangosol.coherence.config.ParameterMacroExpression<T>
All Implemented Interfaces:
Expression<T>, ExternalizableLite, PortableObject, Serializable
public class ParameterMacroExpression<T> extends Object implements Expression<T>, ExternalizableLite, PortableObject
A ParameterMacroExpression is an Expression representing the use of a Coherence Parameter Macro, typically occurring with in a Coherence Cache Configuration file.

Coherence Macro Parameters are syntactically represented as follows:

{parameter-name [default-value]}

When a ParameterMacroExpression is evaluated the parameter-name and it's associated value is resolved by consulting the provided ParameterResolver. If the parameter is resolvable, the value of the resolved parameter is returned. If it's not resolvable the default value is returned.

Note: Returned values are always coerced into the type defined by the Expression.
