Hi,
I think I have problems in my software because the implementation of EL
works so that the set value is coerced to the target type.
I am talking about lines 153-157 of the class org.apache.el.parser
<http://www.docjar.com/docs/api/org/apache/el/parser/package-index.html>.AstValue.
I guess it makes sence all the time except if the 'base' is the Map. I
seem that once I put a String into the Map, I lose the ability to put,
say, an array or a Collection there through the setValue method of the
ValueExpression.
The ValueExpressioni s a property of the Map, like this ${map.key}. If
this expression is String, I can't setValue a Collection there, my
collection becomes a String through toString method, because the
resolver.getType method returns the Class of what is currently kept
under this key.
Please tell me whether this is an intended/unavoidable behaviour, or a bug?
Thanks!
