Using an operator name as property name about juel HOT 3 CLOSED

[Comment migrated from SourceForge | Submitted by 'beckchr']

I agree that this is quite unpleasing. However, section 1.14 of the spec says:

The following words are reserved for the language and must not be used as identifiers.

and eq gt true instanceof or ne le false empty not lt ge null div mod

Note that many of these words are not in the language now, but they may be in the future, so >developers must avoid using these words."

If I understand this right then JUEL is following the spec here, but I fully agree that this could be handled more clever.

How do other EL implementations handle this?

Correct, I should have checked the specification first - RTFS :)

The code

com.sun.el.parser.ELParser.parse( "${a.empty}" )

throws the same exception.

I agree that this is not a bug...

Not a bug... I attached a customized builder which can be used to fix this. Maybe I'll add this as an extension in the next release.
