when you deal with JavaBeans. I also agree that understanding
the difference between "${continuation.id}" and
"#{$continuation/id}" is less than evident.
So what about a unified syntax for expansion tokens, within
which different languages could be used. Example:
- ${continuation.id} // Jexl, default syntax
- ${xpath:$continuation/id} // xpath
- ${im:defaults:skin} // input-module
- ${ognl:$continuation.id} // OGNL [1]
Hmm, one of the things I really don't like with JXTG is that you
have to different expression languages. You never know which to
use and some things work only with one specific language.
And for me this comes near to FS :)
And if there are language constructs that are not possible to implement with
JXPath and JavaBeans? And I am sure there are (I had some problems myself but
shoot me in the head: I do not remember the exact cases). Should we be saying
to users: "it does not work with JXPath, still it would with Jext, since we
dropped jexl officialy you have to plug it back in yourself"?
