cvs commit: jakarta-commons/jelly/src/java/org/apache/commons/jelly/tags/core GetStaticTag.java CoreTagLibrary.java
dfs 2004/06/04 19:23:41
Modified: jelly/src/java/org/apache/commons/jelly/tags/core
CoreTagLibrary.java
Added: jelly/src/java/org/apache/commons/jelly/tags/core
GetStaticTag.java
Log:
In the thread on commons-dev starting at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg41386.html
we discussed the addition to Jelly of the ability to retrieve the
values of static fields. The participants of the discussion agreed
that the functionality was desirable as a core feature. However, it
was also pointed out that perhaps Jexl is the right place for this
functionality to exist. Given the immediate utility of the
functionality and the general agreement that it would be okay to
add a new core tag to fulfill the need, I have added a GetStaticTag
class that implements a <getStatic/> tag to retrieve static fields
in classes, modeled along the ines of <invokeStatic/>.
