Coming from an Ant background, I've got a tendency to use java package
naming conventions for my variables/properties.
Example: widget.color.hue
Now, I've been using Maven alot and so far it has worked pretty well.
However, there seems to be a particular case where expression evaluation is
not as expected:
<goal name="jelly-error">
<!-- if expression with a non-dotted variable: abc -->
<j:set var="abc" value="123"/>
<echo>abc=${abc}</echo>
<j:if test="${abc != null}">
<echo>Recognized abc is not null</echo>
</j:if>
<!-- if expression with a dotted varible: a.b.c -->
<j:set var="a.b.c" value="456"/>
<echo>a.b.c=${a.b.c}</echo>
<j:if test="${a.b.c != null}">
<!-- expression evaluates to false and never gets here -->
<echo>Recognized a.b.c is not null"</echo>
</j:if>
</goal>
Output:
[echo] abc=123
[echo] Recognized abc is not null
[echo] a.b.c=456
As you can see, a.b.c != null did not evaluate to true.
Bug or feature?
BTW, I'm using jelly/jext shipped with Maven Beta 10.
Thanks,
Semir
