Andre Huertas commented on JELLY-275:
-------------------------------------

I created a little work around for this (but I'm new to this so I'm not sure if its kosher):

First I changed the the script to the following:

	<j:new var="foo" className="java.io.File" >
		<j:arg value="."/>
	</j:new>

	<j:invoke method="isFile" var="isFile" on="foo" />
		
Then in InvokeTag.java I made the following modifications:

...
    /** the name of the object to invoke the method on */
    private String on;
...
    public void setOn(String on) {
    	        this.on = on;
    }
...
[Inside the doTag() method]
Object onInstance = context.findVariable(on);
