## Interface ValueExp

- All Superinterfaces:
    `Serializable`
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    `AttributeValueExp`, `StringValueExp`

      public interface ValueExp
      extends Serializable

  Represents values that can be passed as arguments to relational expressions. Strings, numbers, attributes are valid values and should be represented by implementations of `ValueExp`.
  Since:
    1.5

- - ### Method Summary

    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `ValueExp` | `apply​(ObjectName name)` | Applies the ValueExp on a MBean.
    `void` | `setMBeanServer​(MBeanServer s)` | Deprecated. This method is not needed because a `ValueExp` can access the MBean server in which it is being evaluated by using `QueryEval.getMBeanServer()`.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### apply

          ValueExp apply​(ObjectName name)
                  throws BadStringOperationException,
                         BadBinaryOpValueExpException,
                         BadAttributeValueExpException,
                         InvalidApplicationException

      Applies the ValueExp on a MBean.
      Parameters:
        `name` - The name of the MBean on which the ValueExp will be applied.
      Returns:
        The `ValueExp`.
      Throws:
        `BadStringOperationException` - when an invalid string operation is passed to a method for constructing a query
        `BadBinaryOpValueExpException` - when an invalid expression is passed to a method for constructing a query
        `BadAttributeValueExpException` - when an invalid MBean attribute is passed to a query constructing method
        `InvalidApplicationException` - when an invalid apply is attempted

    - #### setMBeanServer

          @Deprecated
          void setMBeanServer​(MBeanServer s)

      Deprecated.
      This method is not needed because a `ValueExp` can access the MBean server in which it is being evaluated by using `QueryEval.getMBeanServer()`.
      Sets the MBean server on which the query is to be performed.
      Parameters:
        `s` - The MBean server on which the query is to be performed.
