LOL, I didn't know my efforts were going to cause such a raucous. :) Ted is correct--I started this on Saturday on a whim. At this point it is completely experimental--we have a long ways to go before it is even close to usable. However, I was able to execute a simple expression using my value stack, which for me, was a worthwhile accomplishment. I didn't want Don's work to abstract away the value stack to be completely wasted, we needed at least one other value stack implementation to truly test his changes. Don did good work, but there is still a lot of OGNLisms that have crept into the code over time. It would be nice to find and eliminate these
Ian brings up a good point in that we'll have to decide how to handle some things like I18N/type conversion/method invocation. Not all EL's are created equal and OGNL probably is a little more flexible and powerful than most. Then even if we get all that working, what's the migration strategy?
