# Class ProtectedFunctionMapper

java.lang.Object

    public static ProtectedFunctionMapper getInstance()
    Generated Servlet and Tag Handler implementations call this method to retrieve an instance of the ProtectedFunctionMapper.
    Returns:
      A new protected function mapper.

  - ### mapFunction

    public void mapFunction(String fnQName, Class<?> c, String methodName, Class<?>[] args)
    Stores a mapping from the given EL function prefix and name to the given Java method.
    Parameters:
      `fnQName` - The EL function qualified name (including prefix)
      `c` - The class containing the Java method
      `methodName` - The name of the Java method
      `args` - The arguments of the Java method
    Throws:
      `RuntimeException` - if no method with the given signature could be found.

  - ### getMapForFunction

    public static ProtectedFunctionMapper getMapForFunction(String fnQName, Class<?> c, String methodName, Class<?>[] args)
    Creates an instance for this class, and stores the Method for the given EL function prefix and name. This method is used for the case when there is only one function in the EL expression.
    Parameters:
      `fnQName` - The EL function qualified name (including prefix)
      `c` - The class containing the Java method
      `methodName` - The name of the Java method
      `args` - The arguments of the Java method
    Returns:
      the mapped function
    Throws:
      `RuntimeException` - if no method with the given signature could be found.

  - ### resolveFunction

    public Method resolveFunction(String prefix, String localName)
    Resolves the specified local name and prefix into a Java.lang.Method. Returns null if the prefix and local name are not found.
    Specified by:
      `resolveFunction` in class `FunctionMapper`
    Parameters:
      `prefix` - the prefix of the function
      `localName` - the short name of the function
    Returns:
      the result of the method mapping. Null means no entry found.
