Re: Questions about Jelly

[Mark R. Diggory]

2.) From lurking about taglibs and tomcat lists, I know that JSP 2.0 is going to support the Scripting Langauge independent of the taglibraries (So the expression handling occurs outside the tags. Infact - moving the EL Enterpreter into a separate commons project.) and will also support defining new functions for the scripting language. Has any thought gone into adopting this for Jelly as well?

Differences

* Jelly has full support for pluggable expression languages. The default expression language is a superset of the one used in JSP, JSTL and JSF which supports conditional expressions, navigating bean properties, and working with Maps, Collections, Lists, arrays etc. Jexl is the current
implementation which adds some Velocity-like enhancements like method calls on beans etc.

1.) Is there a place I can find documentation about the scripting language used by Jelly? What is supported by Jelly in comparision to the EL inside of the JSTL?

I see examples like this:

<frame title="This is a frame" var="frame" location="100,100" size="800,400">
<font family="helvetica" size="14"/>
<menuBar>
....

${frame.show()}

does this mean that Jelly supports direct method calls (something JSTL/EL is currently working towards?)
