Interface IElEvaluator

public interface IElEvaluator
Evaluator for EL expression. This is concerned only with evaluation and explicitly does not allow modifying the context such as available utility methods or registered EL resolvers. This allows for better caching, so that an evaluator can be created once and reused for multiple evaluations. Each evaluation runs with the same configuration, but allows specifying a different set of variables for each evaluation.
