Class ExpressionCollection

java.lang.Object

org.pentaho.reporting.engine.classic.core.function.ExpressionCollection

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class ExpressionCollection
extends Object
implements Cloneable, Serializable

Collects all expressions used in the report. Unlike earlier versions of this class, now expressions can have a null-name and more than one expression with the same name can exist in the collection. Expressions without a name will not appear in the datarow and expressions with duplicate names will only appear once (the last expression added will appear, according to the rules of duplicate entries in the datarow)
