-------------------------------------

Ok, Rahul - that makes lots of sense to me too. I'll update the Javadoc comments and add an example.

> The _eventdatamap is implemented as a Java HashMap - and the Javascript engines (both JDK and JSR223) don't seem to be able to apply the [] operator to a Java Map object. 
> An interim workaround when using the Javascript evaluator is to use _eventdatamap.get('event.name'). 
> For the longer term this anomalous behaviour can either just be documented or a patch that specifically handles _eventdatamap[] can be included in the eval functions
