Fyodor Kupolov commented on JEXL-3:
-----------------------------------
Scriptella open source ETL tool actively use JEXL as an expression engine.
Thank you for such a great library, but I see one critical limitation of JEXL -
it's impossible to instantiate objects and invoke static methods without object
instance.
Could you please tell me when 2.0 is going to be released?
> [JEXL] Static method resolution and changes to context
> ------------------------------------------------------

> Key: JEXL-3
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-3
> Project: Commons JEXL
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Environment: Operating System: other
> Platform: Other
> Reporter: dion gillard
> Fix For: 2.0

> Attachments: jexl-patch.zip

> From: Guido Anzuoni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
> Here I will try to explain may changes to see if you agree to include in the
> trunk.
> 1. UberspectImpl
> I need to include static methods resolution in expressions (e.g.
> System.currentTimeMillis()). I patched the class to allow it.
> 2. JexlContext
> Resolving vars using a Map is not enough flexible for my needs. I have
> modified
> it to have a single method
> public Object resolveVariable(String var);
> This allows me for better flexibility in the resolution process.
> I have implemented a JextContext based on a java.util.Map, an extensible
> JexlContext and a delegating JexlContext.
> The extensible resolver is abstract and has a "parent" context to which
> delegates in the case local resolution failes.
> Delegating implementation extends the extensible context and uses another
> JexlContext for local resolution.
> More, I have removed any reference to JexlContex.getVars() in the code.
> If you wish I can send the modified classes to better evaluate my changes.
