add s:concat and s:range functions ---------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2471 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2471 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.0.1.CR1 Reporter: Dan Allen Assigned To: Dan Allen Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.0.x Attachments: JBSEAM-2471-v1.txt My #1 EL pet peeve is that there is no way to concatenate a string. This is like serious basic stuff and it is perfectly reasonable to want to perform this task in EL. I realize I could invent my own solution (and I have), but we want to sweep those common cases under the rug like what was done with the magic collection functions (size, isEmpty, etc). How about s:concat('one', 'two')? I am going to squeeze one more in here. I can't tell you the number of times I have needed to quickly create an iteration loop in the UI over a range of numbers, only to realize that there isn't an easy way aside from creating a component. Can we add an s:range() function that creates a collection on the fly? s:range(1, 5) This is somewhat of a precedence since the only two functions in s: right now are security related. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
