[Jelly] Exceptions on bad expressions?
I'm trying to do some testing with JellyUnit, and running into no small
amount of frustration that I hope more experienced Jelly lovers can relieve.
The problem is that invalid Jelly expressions are silently ignored. No
exception, no warning message, nothing. So if I have a typo or other error
in an expression, eg,
<j:set var="var" value="${foo.noSuchProperty}"/>
Then nothing happens. Debugging these issues is a big pain in the butt.
Is there some way to configure Jelly for strict error checking? I'd love to
have an exception thrown when the expression interpreter hits a bad
expression. (I'd also love to have an exception thrown when an unhandled
XML tag is encountered, but I guess that's a separate issue.)
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks,
.T.

I believe that the first test of a truly great man is his humility. I do
not mean by humility, doubt of his own powers. But really great men have a
curious feeling that the greatness is not in them, but through them. And
they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly,
incredibly merciful.
