## org.springframework.expression.spel.ast
Class FunctionReference

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.expression.spel.ast.SpelNodeImpl
          org.springframework.expression.spel.ast.FunctionReference

All Implemented Interfaces:
  SpelNode

    public class FunctionReference

extends SpelNodeImpl

A function reference is of the form "#someFunction(a,b,c)". Functions may be defined in the context prior to the expression being evaluated or within the expression itself using a lambda function definition. For example: Lambda function definition in an expression: "(#max = {|x,y|$x>$y?$x:$y};max(2,3))" Calling context defined function: "#isEven(37)". Functions may also be static java methods, registered in the context prior to invocation of the expression.

Functions are very simplistic, the arguments are not part of the definition (right now), so the names must be unique.
