Here are some more examples regarding the EL. If you don't know the Expression Language you may want to read this article by SUN.
Most of the EL-part should be implemented, some limitations are:
- floats are not parsed as decribed (floatval is used)
- scopes are partially implemented
- instanceof not implemented
- those "Implicit Objects" are not provided (param, requestScope, sessionScope and cookie is implemented for testing)
- properties are treated similiar to indices
If you know of more relevant differences, please let me know.
If you want, you could implement your own functions... more information and a list of currently implemented functions you could find at onjava.com
(To use those, you need to import logic_export)
