[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-406?page=comments#action_12331266 ]
Jörg Gottschling commented on VELOCITY-406: ------------------------------------------- I think it's a little bit confusing, because you could not distinguish between a property and an entry then. But I think, that's something one can get used to. Are these syntax elements limited to the collection framework? Or can you just implement an interface or just some special methods to apply some syntactic sugar to your own classes. Does Velocity support the interface "Iterable" in 1.5? Where can I get some infos about the new version? > Improved Syntax for Maps and Collections > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: VELOCITY-406 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-406 > Project: Velocity > Type: Improvement > Components: Source > Reporter: Jörg Gottschling > Priority: Minor > > I would like to see some syntatic sugar for Maps and Collections and perhaps > other Objects too. > (I have read that there will be a syntax for map literals in 1.5, that's a > first step.) > I want to have something like in groovy: > http://groovy.codehaus.org/Collections > Scroll down to "Slicing with the subscript operator". > PS: Please do never implement this terrible confusing groovy map bean syntax, > where "map.foo" ist equivalent to "map.get("foo")". -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
