Claude Brisson updated VELOCITY-876:
------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 2.0)
2.1.x
> Support a Configurable EL within ${{...}} also $!{{...}} tags
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: VELOCITY-876
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-876
> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Engine
> Affects Versions: 1.7
> Reporter: Terefang Verigorn
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1.x
>
>
> Since Velocity2 is a Major version, why not start to support some new
> features?
> As of Velocity 1.x you can use ${ name } to refer to object "name" in the
> context, or use $!{ name } if you want "" for null values.
> How about using ${{ el-expression }} to evaluate and output the given
> "el-expression" in a configured el-engine with the current velocity context,
> same should hold for $!{{ el-expression }}.
> Some possible engines would be :
> commons-el, commons-jexl, ognl, mvel
> if using el/jexl ${{ name }} would be mostly the same as ${ name }.
> usage cases:
> the simple ${{ ... }} would allow more complicated expressions than present
> in the plain engine, especially if we look at the jexl2/3 features
> #if( ${{ ... }} ) -- would improve the boolean issue because the el could be
> used to wrap in "a?x:y"
> architecture:
> thru api abstraction, almost any el could be plugged in ( even groovy.eval or
> jsr223 )
> core engine could ship with the api and el or jexl as the reference impl,
> other bindings would be optional jars with thier own deps.
> brain storming:
> how about supporting non-outputting el/jsr223 between #{{ ... #}} tags, like:
> ------
> #{{ /* jexl code */
> var = [ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 ];
> #}}
> #foreach( $n in $var )
> $n
> #end
> ------
