<snip>
the expression language support in woody is currently the one Bruno first applied into XReporter (http://xreporter.cocoondev.org) there is already some jxpath support (but only in the template files) and there was at least one suggesting jexl (above client-side javascript idea might even suggest using the same language on the server)
I'm quite sure the discussion will come up again in due time, my current feeling is in fact that scripting support inside the whole of cocoon (jxtemplate for instance) could maybe be factored out to a specific script-evaluate-avalon-service-component that can be called from different parts... this would kind of offload the discussion on the woody work and probably bring more consistency among all script-using components in cocoon
Do you know JEX, which is a common front-end to all those expressions languages out there ?
It's in commons-sandbox (in the CVS, but not in the web pages), and originated at http://www.plotnix.com/jex/index.html
