[jira] Resolved: (PIVOT-549) Storing to fields with data binding doesn't work

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-549?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Greg Brown resolved PIVOT-549.
------------------------------

    Fix Version/s:     (was: 2.0)
       Resolution: Not A Problem

Sorry for the confusion. This is not actually a bug. The tilde is not a valid identifier character, so it can't be used unquoted in a JSON path (which is what the textKey property expects). For example, the following is not a valid JSON path:

foo.~bar

However, this is valid:

foo["~bar"]

So, to bind to a field rather than a bean property, you can do something like the following:

<TextInput textKey="['~bar']"/>

 Hi

According to www.json.org, the tilde is a valid identifier character. Which spec are you using?

In fact, pretty much anything except doublequote and backslash are valid characters in an identifier.
