Constructors

You can invoke constructors by using the new operator. You should use the fully qualified class name for all types except those located in the java.lang package (Integer, Float, String, and so on). The following example shows how to use the new operator to invoke constructors:

  • Java

Inventor einstein = p.parseExpression(
    "new spel.inventor.Inventor('Albert Einstein', 'German')").getValue(Inventor.class);

// create new Inventor instance within the add() method of List
p.parseExpression(
    "Members.add(new spel.inventor.Inventor('Albert Einstein', 'German'))").getValue(societyContext);
