Also could {util: syntax deal with stuff like "{bsh:org.ofbiz.*" (ie replace
bsh by util there) ?
This would allow to replace most of bsh uses in xml files
Thanks

Hi Adrian,
Is {util: syntax also dealing with ternary operator (did not look into details, doing some {bsh: to {util: changes while
changing(/adding) type from "Double" to "BigDecimal" as David suggested recently
Thanks

Now that we have the Unified Expression Language implemented in
FlexibleStringExpander, we gain the ability to use UEL functions.
On the plus side, UEL functions can make screen widget and mini-language code more flexible and more powerful. On the minus side,
you have to know the functions and what they do (in other words, no auto-completion when working in XML).
As an example, I frequently need to know the size of a List, Map, or String. With current code, I have to use the bsh: prefix and
a short script:
<set field="mapSize" value="${bsh:uiLabelMap.size();}" type="Integer"/>.
Using a UEL function:
<set field="mapSize" value="${util:size(uiLabelMap)}" type="Integer"/>
or to get the length of a String:
<set field="stringSize" value="${util:size(uiLabelMap.CommonParty)}"
type="Integer"/>.
I don't know if this would be of any use, or if it is desirable. I'm just
tossing the idea out there for discussion.
