Henri Biestro commented on JEXL-177: ------------------------------------ Documentation might be confusing and it may not fit your style but you could use something like: {code} $$ if (item != null) { <package>${item}</package> $$ } {code} In templates (vs expressions), lines that begin with '$$' allow writing script fragments and you get access to the full syntax (var, functions, etc). Other lines are interpolated. > Unified expressions to be used in String literals in Jexl scripts > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > 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}"""; > return s; > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
