http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32748 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-10-15 19:30 ------- (In reply to comment #1) > I'm not sure I see any way around this. Do you have any ideas? The issue is a very important one, because many times developers have no control over the characters in the keys of map-backed propeties. A solution could be to enhance the expression syntax to recognize escape sequences inside the parenthesis representing map-backed property keys. Consider this example: Line 1: myBean.setMyMapBackedProp("foo).bar(baz", "myValue"); Line 2: myBean.getMyMapBackedProp("foo").setBar("baz", "myValue); Line 3: BeanUtils.setProperty(myBean, "myMapBackedProp(foo).bar (baz)", "myValue"); Line 3 would currently have the same effect as Line 2. What if we want to use BeanUtils to achieve the effect of Line 1 instead of the effect of Line 2? Suppose that BeanUtils expression syntax for map-backed property keys were enhanced slightly to recognize these escape sequences: "\(" for "(" "\." for "." "\)" for ")" Then we could use BeanUtils to achieve the effect of Line 1 as follows: Line 4: BeanUtils.setProperty(myBean, "myMapBackedProp (foo\.bar\(baz)", "myValue"); -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
