JavaBean XPath with uppercase initial characters
------------------------------------------------
Key: JXPATH-146
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JXPATH-146
Project: Commons JXPath
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.3
Reporter: Ram
Priority: Minor
XPath expressions executed against a JavaBean only work when the initial
character is lower case.
context.getValue("firstName") //works
context.getValue("FirstName") //doesn't work
The code internally is looking at PropertyDescriptors and these start with
lower case as per the JavaBean spec.
I will be nice if both versions work ( just like 'firstName' and '@firstName'
work even though JavaBeans don't differentiate attributes vs elements).
The fix may be simple as converting the initial character to lower case before
the PropertyDescriptor lookup. Haven't looked at the impacts in detail though.
Thoughts ?
