[jira] Updated: (VELOCITY-406) Improved Syntax for Maps and Collections

["Henning Schmiedehausen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-406?page=all ]

Henning Schmiedehausen updated VELOCITY-406:
--------------------------------------------

      Component/s: Engine
                       (was: Source)
    Fix Version/s: 1.6

Will think about Maps slices for 1.6. Iterable is supported if you use a custom Uberspect (see whiteboard/henning/jdk15). Groovy might have stolen the "horrible map syntax" from us, so there is nothing we can do here... :-)

> I would like to see some syntatic sugar for Maps and Collections and perhaps other Objects too. 
> (I have read that there will be a syntax for map literals in 1.5, that's a first step.)
> I want to have something like in groovy: http://groovy.codehaus.org/Collections
> Scroll down to "Slicing with the subscript operator".
> PS: Please do never implement this terrible confusing groovy map bean syntax, where "map.foo" ist equivalent to "map.get("foo")".
