             Summary: Loop over an iterable, evalaute and expression per row, and return concatenated results
                 Key: JEXL-139
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-139
             Project: Commons JEXL
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Manoj Mokashi
            Priority: Minor


Code below.

	 * For each row, evaluate the row-expression
	 * Return a string of all row-results, concatenated by separator.
	 * The current current row is indicated by $$__EVAL_ROW and the current index by $$__EVAL_ROWNUM
	 * @param enumExpression
	 * @param expression
	 * @return
	 */

			iterabl = Arrays.asList( (Object[]) objIter ); 	
		}
		else if( objIter instanceof Map){
			iterabl = ((Map) objIter).entrySet();
		}
		else {
			iterabl = (Iterable) objIter; 
		}
		Iterator iter = iterabl.iterator();
		StringBuilder sbld = new StringBuilder();
		int rownum = 0;
		while( iter.hasNext()){
			Object row = iter.next(); 
			setVar( "$$__EVAL_ROW", row );
			setVar( "$$__EVAL_ROWNUM", rownum );
			sbld.append( evalExpr( rowExpression) );
			sbld.append( separator );
			rownum++;
		}
		// remove the temp variables we used.
		remVar( "$$__EVAL_ROWNUM" );

[jira] [Resolved] (JEXL-139) Loop over an iterable, evalaute and expression per row, and return concatenated results

["Henri Biestro (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-139?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Henri Biestro resolved JEXL-139.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Incomplete

The submitted code is not an enhancement request; it is first and foremost lacking a goal/use-case.
If you want to resubmit/reopen it, please describe in words what this is supposed to achieve and how this would benefit other users.
As is, this is only an example of using Jexl in a specific way (that probably could benefit from Jxlt expressions / templates).
