The only reason I can see to support foo.length for arrays is if the JSP expression language supports it, on the basis that Jexl claims to be an extension of the JSP expression language. I can't see an explicit statement that foo.length should be treated specially in the section of the JSP 2.0 spec that describes evaluation of . and [], so my conclusion is that it's not supposed to be part of the standard expression language. Does anyone have evidence to the contrary? If not then I agree with geir that the size function would do. On a related point, JSTL 1.1 has added some standard functions to the expression language, but they've gone for a length() function rather than the size() function that Jexl had introduced. Would it make sense to deprecate size() in favour of length() and JSP EL/JSTL compatibility? -Mark. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
