Hi,

I am new here, and we are using another Apache "product" (Syncope) that 
supports JEXL.  We have a need to have a JEXL expression that calls our own 
method, and I was wondering (a) does JEXL support that capability, and (b) if 
so, how do we accomplish that?

Some background:  Syncope supports using JEXL to provide what they call 
"derived attributes", i.e., where we can have a JEXL expression to construct an 
dynamically-constructed attribute from other attributes. 

However in our case, we have some custom Java methods (e.g., "extractField1()") 
to extract some information from an attribute, so we want to have a derived 
attribute that is constructed by a JEXPL expression, something like

my_derived_attribute = incoming_attribute.extractField1()

Is that something that JEXL supports?

And, if so, what do we have to do to make that extractField1() method available 
to JEXL?  Do we just put that method (actually we have several different 
methods) and make the class that the methods are in on the classpath?  

Thanks!!

Jim
