0 is the result of the arithmethic expression (foo MINUS bar.baz).

One better should avoid "-" in property names.

[OT-Jelly]Expression evaluation

2003-08-20 Thread Sri Sankaran 
I am a little confused over when an attribute value of ${whatever} is evaluated as an 
expression and when it is treated literally.

In particular, I am noticing an inconsistency in the way an attribute value is being 
treated by  and .  It seems that 's value attribute is treated 
literally; however, the 's test attribute is evaluated as an expression.

Consider the following property settings
foo-bar.baz = bing
foo_bar.baz = bing
foo.bar.baz = bing

Here are some usages:
Example 1:

 

  


This outputs 
  fbb is 0
-
Example 2:

 

  


This outputs 
  fbb is bing
  foo_bar.baz is null   
-
Example 3:

 

  


This outputs 
  fbb is bing
  foo.bar.baz is null
