Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static SimpleEvaluationContext	createSimpleEvaluationContext()	Used to create a context with no BeanFactory, usually in tests.
static SimpleEvaluationContext	createSimpleEvaluationContext(BeanFactory beanFactory)	Obtains the context from the beanFactory if not null; emits a warning if the beanFactory is null.
static StandardEvaluationContext	createStandardEvaluationContext()	Used to create a context with no BeanFactory, usually in tests.
static StandardEvaluationContext	createStandardEvaluationContext(BeanFactory beanFactory)	Obtains the context from the beanFactory if not null; emits a warning if the beanFactory is null.
static File	expressionToFile(Expression expression, EvaluationContext evaluationContext, Message<?> message, String propertyName)	Evaluate an expression and return a File object; the expression can evaluate to a String or File.
static Expression	intExpression(String expression)	Return a ValueExpression for a simple literal, otherwise a SpelExpression.
