I like that idea. Less chance that an unintended conversion would occur.

FYI and I only realized this the other day but beanshell supports
exactly this type of feature where you can specify things @and, @or and
etc. for use in xml

I wonder if we do this it might be worth following the same convention.

Adrian,
this is really interesting.
However I think it is time to start thinking to define our own xml
friendly keywords for && and || operators; I would like to express
that statement with something like this:
<set field="hasPermission" value="${(hasPermission['update:context1']
OR hasPermission['update:context2']) AND
hasPermission['update:context3']}" type="Boolean"/>

or something like that. I'm still working out the details.

That sounds cool. I'm not sure what that would really look like, but
nevertheless sounds really cool! :) If you need anything from me let

I'd be happy to discuss additional changes as well (which aren't
yet documented) like adding support to check multiple permissions
at once, returning a Map of results from that permission check.
So, if you or anyone else has a wish list for security, let me
know so I can get it all incorporated at the same time.
Btw, I'm working on adding an extension to the UEL that will allow
permission expressions.
