Henri Biestro resolved JEXL-79.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Assignee: Henri Biestro
Fix Version/s: (was: Later)
3.0
The array literal syntax allows both [x, y ] and [x , y, ...].
The with-ellipsis/extended version creates an ArrayList whilst the
non-ellipsis/non-extended version creates an Array.
Other behaviors can be implemented by deriving a JexlArithmetic and overriding
the arrayBuilder() method by returning a JexlArithmetic.ArrayBuilder. The
'Object create(boolean extended)' method is the one to override to create the
actual array instance.
> Add support for growable arrays (ArrayLists)

> JEXL now has fixed arrays. Trying to access a non-existent entry generates an
> Exception.
> Might be useful to allow for the creation and manipulation of growable
> arrays, e.g. using ArrayList.
> Writing to a non-existent entry should just create the value; reading should
> return null and empty.
> This would need a new syntax.
> Perhaps:
> list=[1,2,3,...]
> and
> emptyList=[...]
> I did wonder about using (), but that would clash with method invocation.
> Other ideas welcome!
