Joe Tom updated JEXL-208:
-------------------------
Description:
Noticed on https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-jexl/reference/syntax.html
that there are two operands that are defined then in the examples reversed.
Starts With=^
The syntactically ... "abcdef" ^= "abc" returns true. Note that through
duck-typing, user classes exposing a public 'startsWith' method will allow
their instances to behave has left-hand-size operands of this operator.
AND
Not Starts With!^
This is the negation of the 'starts with' operator. a ^! "abc" is equivalent to
!(a ^= "abc")

Noticed on https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-jexl/reference/syntax.html
that there are two operands that are defined then in the examples reversed.
Starts With=^
The syntactically CSS3 inspired =^ operator is a short-hand for the
'startsWith' method. For example, "abcdef" ^= "abc" returns true. Note that
through duck-typing, user classes exposing a public 'startsWith' method will
allow their instances to behave has left-hand-size operands of this operator.
AND
Not Starts With!^
This is the negation of the 'starts with' operator. a ^! "abc" is equivalent to
!(a ^= "abc")
