[Jexl & BeanUtils] Why not extend Jexl or beanutils to match same map syntax ?
Hi.
This message is for jexl and beanutils folks.
I'm using both of them, as many people I presume.
Both of them share _almost_ the same syntax but for mapped access.
Jexl uses square brackets as "bean.map[key]" and beanUtils uses parentheses
"bean.map(key)"
To my opinion it could be a good idea to extends jexl to uses also beanutils
parentheses syntax.
What are you thinking about this ?

Although... it would be fairly easy to adapt a new scripting language into
Jelly. The fairly-simple task of implementing a pluggable language interface
has been on the table for a while. I think that Morph would be an
interesting candidate for a second language.

It seems' to be a nice framework, but I'm working with jelly so need jexl :)

The Morph framework (morph.sourceforge.net) supports either syntax
out-of-the box. Morph had its first beta release yesterday.
For a comparison of Morph to JEXL, see

Seems reasonable. AFAIK, the JSP spec has changed to allow [] or () as
well, right?
