public class LambdaExpression
extends java.lang.Object
ValueExpression.
A LambdaExpression is a representation of the Jakarta Expression Language Lambda expression syntax. It
consists of a list of the formal parameters and a body, represented by a ValueExpression. The body can be any
valid Expression, including another LambdaExpression.
A LambdaExpression is created when an Jakarta Expression Language expression containing a Lambda
expression is evaluated.
A LambdaExpression can be invoked by calling invoke(jakarta.el.ELContext, java.lang.Object...), with an
ELContext and a list of the actual arguments. Alternately, a LambdaExpression can be
invoked without passing a ELContext, in which case the ELContext previously set by calling
setELContext(jakarta.el.ELContext) will be used. The evaluation of the ValueExpression in the body
uses the ELContext to resolve references to the parameters, and to evaluate the lambda expression. The result
of the evaluation is returned.

ELException is thrown.
The actual Lambda arguments are added to the ELContext and are available during the evaluation of the Lambda expression. They are removed after the evaluation.
