Dmitri Blinov commented on JEXL-177:
------------------------------------
I'm using both scripts and templates, and scripts are good at manipulating and
preparing business data (fetching, filtering etc) and templates are good at
representing them in string form but are a hell when it comes to conditional
interpolation.
At the moment I have both scripts and templates as independent parts of
framework, they are called by framework in relay - scripts to provide nessesery
data context and templates to finalyze the work, kind of MVC style, but in some
non straight-forward cases there is a need to either use different templates in
the end, or to develop complex logic where data and representation are
interconnected, so that the only practical solution to this is to generate the
result by manipulating its fragments, including some parts and ommiting others,
directly in script where the data is being processed.

> Key: JEXL-177
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-177
> Project: Commons JEXL
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Reporter: Dmitri Blinov
> Priority: Minor
>
> Introduce new string literals to jexl script that allow unified expressions
> to be used, string literals could use for example triple quoted (single or
> double) syntax for delimiters, may include newlines and should not escape
> single quotes
> {code}
> user = "Bob"; server = "Test"; s = """Hello ${user}, welcome to ${server}""";
