Rule implementation that saves a parameter for use by a surrounding CallMethodRule.

This parameter may be:

/** * <p>Rule implementation that saves a parameter for use by a surrounding * <code>CallMethodRule<code>.</p> * * <p>This parameter may be: * <ul> * <li>from an attribute of the current element * See {@link #CallParamRule(int paramIndex, String attributeName)} * <li>from current the element body * See {@link #CallParamRule(int paramIndex)} * <li>from the top object on the stack. * See {@link #CallParamRule(int paramIndex, boolean fromStack)} * <li>the current path being processed (separate <code>Rule</code>). * See {@link PathCallParamRule} * </ul> * </p> */
public class CallParamRule extends Rule { // ----------------------------------------------------------- Constructors
Construct a "call parameter" rule that will save the body text of this element as the parameter value.

Note that if the element is empty the an empty string is 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.

Params:
  • digester – The associated Digester
  • paramIndex – The zero-relative parameter number
Deprecated:The digester instance is now set in the Digester.addRule method. Use CallParamRule(int paramIndex) instead.
/** * Construct a "call parameter" rule that will save the body text of this * element as the parameter value. * * <p>Note that if the element is empty the an <i>empty string</i> is * passed to the target method, not null.
