arguments supplied. <acronym class="acronym">OGNL</acronym> always chooses the most specific method it can find whose types match the supplied arguments; if there are two or more methods that are equally specific and match the given arguments, one of
them will be chosen arbitrarily.</p><p>In particular, a null argument matches all non-primitive types, and so is most likely to result in an unexpected method being called.</p><p>Note that the arguments to a method are separated by commas, and so the comma operator cannot be used unless it is enclosed in parentheses. For example,</p><pre class="programlisting">method( ensureLoaded(), name )</pre><p>is a call to a 2-argument method, while</p><pre class="programlisting">method( (ensureLoaded(), name) )</pre><p>is a call to a 1-argument method.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table summary="Navigation footer" width="100%"><tr><td align="left" width="40%"><a accesskey="p" href="indexing.html"><img src="../images/navigation/prev.gif" alt="Prev"></a> </td><td align="center" width="20%"><a accesskey="u" href="basicExpressions.html"><img src="../images/navigation/up.gif" alt="Up"></a></td><td align="right" width="40%"> <a accesskey="n" href="varref.html"><img src="../images/navigation/next.gif" alt="Next"></a></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" align="left" width="40%">Indexing </td><td align="center" width="20%"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html"><img src="../images/navigation/home.gif" alt="Home"></a></td><td valign="top" align="right" width="40%"> Variable References</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
