Prior to gh-30325, supplying a null reference for a SpEL expression was
effectively equivalent to supplying the String "null" as the
expression. Consequently, evaluation of a null reference expression
always evaluated to a null reference. However, that was accidental
rather than by design.
Due to the introduction of the checkExpressionLength(String) method in
InternalSpelExpressionParser (in conjunction with gh-30325), an attempt
to evaluate a null reference as a SpEL expression now results in a
NullPointerException.
To address both of these issues,
TemplateAwareExpressionParser.parseExpression() and
SpelExpressionParser.parseRaw() now reject null and empty SpEL
expressions.

This commit introduces infrastructure to differentiate between
programmatic setting of a variable in an EvaluationContext versus the
assignment of a variable within a SpEL expression using the assignment
operator (=). In addition, this commit disables variable assignment
within expressions when using the SimpleEvaluationContext.
Closes gh-30327
This commit introduces support for limiting the maximum length of a
string resulting from the concatenation operator (+) in SpEL
expressions.
Closes gh-30331
This commit changes the max regex length in SpEL expressions from 1024
to 1000 in order to consistently use "round" numbers for recently
introduced limits.
See gh-30265
This commit increases the max regex length in SpEL expressions from 256
to 1024 in order to support use cases where a regex may be rather long
without necessarily increasing the complexity of the regex.
Closes gh-30298
Supplying a large regular expression to the `matches` operator in a
SpEL expression can result in errors that are not very helpful to the
user.
This commit improves the diagnostics in SpEL for the `matches` operator
by throwing a SpelEvaluationException with a meaningful error message
to better assist the user.
Closes gh-30145
Attempting to create repeated text in a SpEL expression using the
repeat operator can result in errors that are not very helpful to the
user.
This commit improves the diagnostics in SpEL for the repeat operator by
throwing a SpelEvaluationException with a meaningful error message in
order to better assist the user.
Closes gh-30143
Prior to this commit, the pattern cache for the SpEL `matches` operator
only applied to expressions such as the following where the same
`matches` operator is invoked multiple times with different input:
"map.keySet().?[#this matches '.+xyz']"
The pattern cache did not apply to expressions such as the following
where the same pattern ('.+xyz') is used in multiple `matches`
operations:
"foo matches '.+xyz' AND bar matches '.+xyz'"
This commit addresses this by moving the instance of the pattern cache
map from OperatorMatches to InternalSpelExpressionParser so that the
cache can be reused for all `matches` operations for the given parser.
Closes gh-30141
This commit ensures that methods declared in java.lang.Object (such as
toString() can be invoked on a JDK proxy instance in a SpEL expression.
Closes gh-25316
Prior to this commit, SpEL's ConstructorReference did not provide
support for arrays when generating a string representation of the
internal AST. For example, 'new String[3]' was represented as 'new
String()' instead of 'new String[3]'.
This commit introduces support for standard array construction and array
construction with initializers in ConstructorReference's toStringAST()
implementation.
Closes gh-29666
Prior to this commit, there were two bugs in the support for quotes
within String literals in SpEL expressions.
- Two double quotes ("") or two single quotes ('') were always replaced
with one double quote or one single quote, respectively, regardless
of which quote character was used to enclose the original String
literal. This resulted in the loss of one of the double quotes when
the String literal was enclosed in single quotes, and vice versa. For
example, 'x "" y' became 'x " y'.
- A single quote which was properly escaped in a String literal
enclosed within single quotes was not escaped in the AST string
representation of the expression. For example, 'x '' y' became 'x ' y'.
This commit fixes both of these related issues in StringLiteral and
overhauls the structure of ParsingTests.
Closes gh-29604
Closes gh-28356
Prior to this commit, ternary and Elvis expressions enclosed in
parentheses (to account for operator precedence) were properly parsed
and evaluated; however, the corresponding toStringAST() implementations
did not enclose the results in parentheses. Consequently, the string
representation of the ASTs did not reflect the original semantics of
such expressions.
For example, given "(4 % 2 == 0 ? 1 : 0) * 10" as the expression to
parse and evaluate, the result of toStringAST() was previously
"(((4 % 2) == 0) ? 1 : 0 * 10)" instead of
"((((4 % 2) == 0) ? 1 : 0) * 10)", implying that 0 should be multiplied
by 10 instead of multiplying the result of the ternary expression by 10.
This commit addresses this by ensuring that SpEL ternary and Elvis
expressions are enclosed in parentheses in toStringAST().
Closes gh-29463
Attempting to create a large array in a SpEL expression can result in
an OutOfMemoryError. Although the JVM recovers from that, the error
message is not very helpful to the user.
This commit improves the diagnostics in SpEL for large array creation
by throwing a SpelEvaluationException with a meaningful error message
in order to improve diagnostics for the user.
Closes gh-28145
Prior to this commit, SpEL was able to recover from an error that
occurred while running a CompiledExpression; however, SpEL was not able
to recover from an error that occurred while compiling the expression
(such as a java.lang.VerifyError). The latter can occur when multiple
threads concurrently change types involved in the expression, such as
the concrete type of a custom variable registered via
EvaluationContext.setVariable(...), which can result in SpEL generating
invalid bytecode.
This commit addresses this issue by catching exceptions thrown while
compiling an expression and updating the `failedAttempts` and
`interpretedCount` counters accordingly. If an exception is caught
while operating in SpelCompilerMode.IMMEDIATE mode, the exception will
be propagated via a SpelEvaluationException with a new
SpelMessage.EXCEPTION_COMPILING_EXPRESSION error category.
Closes gh-28043
The test case is intended to be for the method 'withRootObject()', but
actually it's copied from the previous test method that does not use
'withRootObject()'.
This commit fixes the propertyReadWriteWithRootObject() test method in
PropertyAccessTests.
Closes gh-27905
Prior to this commit, if a single null value was passed to a method with
a varargs array of type java.util.Optional, that null value was passed
unmodified. On the contrary, a null passed with additional values to
such a method resulted in the null being converted to Optional.empty().
This commit ensures that a single null value is also converted to
Optional.empty() for such SpEL expressions.
Closes gh-27795
A regression was introduced in gh-27582. Specifically, when null is
supplied as the single argument for a varargs parameter in a method or
function in a SpEL expression, ReflectionHelper currently throws a
NullPointerException instead of leaving the null value unchanged.
This commit fixes this regression.
Closes gh-27719
