### pathAliases

    protected Map<String,String> pathAliases

Method Detail

### getOperandCount

    public int getOperandCount()

  Description copied from class: `Expression`
  Returns a count of operands of this expression. In real life there are unary (count == 1), binary (count == 2) and ternary (count == 3) expressions.

  Overrides:
    `getOperandCount` in class `SimpleNode`

### getOperand

    public Object getOperand(int index)

  Description copied from class: `Expression`
  Returns a value of operand at `index`. Operand indexing starts at 0.

  Overrides:
    `getOperand` in class `SimpleNode`

### setOperand

    public void setOperand(int index,
                           Object value)

  Description copied from class: `Expression`
  Sets a value of operand at `index`. Operand indexing starts at 0.

  Overrides:
    `setOperand` in class `SimpleNode`

### setPath

    protected void setPath(Object path)

### getPath

    protected String getPath()

### getPathAliases

    public Map<String,String> getPathAliases()

  Description copied from class: `SimpleNode`
  Always returns empty map.

  Overrides:
    `getPathAliases` in class `SimpleNode`
  Since:
    3.0

### setPathAliases

    public void setPathAliases(Map<String,String> pathAliases)

  Since:
    3.0

### evaluateEntityNode
