Re: [JEXL] How to set an empty string array property value?

I created a JIRA issue for this and attached patches:
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-144

I think it's a good improvement because it is very natural to try to set an empty array property like the following:


    // setting an empty array

    bean.strarr =  [ ];


I hope the patches fix this issue. Please review them.

Cheers,

Woonsan
