setBody

java.lang.Object setBody(java.lang.Object handle,
                         java.lang.String body)

Sets the body of an expression. TODO: This operation is fooling the user in thinking that the body of the object is changed. Instead, a new object is created. There is no other way: a MExpression can not be altered, once created! So, this operation returns a newly created object instead.

Parameters:

handle - The expression to modify.

body - The body to set.

Returns:

The newly created expression.

getBody

java.lang.String getBody(java.lang.Object handle)

Gets the body of an expression.

Parameters:

handle - The expression to get.

Returns:

The body (a String).

setLanguage

java.lang.Object setLanguage(java.lang.Object handle,
                             java.lang.String language)

Sets the language of an expression. TODO: This operation is fooling the user in thinking that the body of the object is changed. Instead, a new object is created. There is no other way: a MExpression can not be altered, once created! So, this operation returns a newly created object instead.

Parameters:

handle - The expression.

language - The new language.

Returns:

The newly created Object.

getLanguage

java.lang.String getLanguage(java.lang.Object handle)

Gets the language of an expression.
