XPath is a must-have when you deal with XML documents while Jexl is mostly useless in that case but is straightforward 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 :)
Amen. I wouldn't even go for plugins. Let's chose one syntax and just use that.
