Anyone ever see this syntax? What does it mean?

Question

return class$com$bea$p13n$security$realm$RDBMSUser != null ? class$com$bea$p13n$security$realm$RDBMSUser : (class$com$bea$p13n$security$realm$RDBMSUser = class$("com.bea.p13n.security.realm.RDBMSUser"));
I know the shorthand if statement but what are all of the $'s?
