             Summary: Inline object property initialization construct
                 Key: JEXL-262
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-262
             Project: Commons JEXL
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 3.1
            Reporter: Dmitri Blinov


I wonder is it possible (not difficult) to implement in Jexl a construct that would allow us to initialize object properties in one statement, so that it would be possible to replace the code like
{code}
var i = Address
i.City = 'NY';
i.Street = '1st Avenue';
i.House = '22';
{code}
with something like
{code}
Address {City : 'NY', Street : '1st Avenue', House : '22'}
{code}
I think this is somewhat similar to inline map initialization syntax, which is proved to be very useful and productive, so it would be nice to have such a feature for common objects too
