[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFACES-189?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Dan Allen updated SEAMFACES-189: -------------------------------- Assignee: Brian Leathem Fix Version/s: 3.1.0.Final Affects Version/s: 3.1.0.Beta2 Currently EL does not allow static methods to be resolved in a value expression. We should support static methods with 0 or more parameters so that it's possible to create EL functions using the following strategy: {code} @Named public class StringUtils { public String length(String str) { return str.length(); } } {code} {code} #{stringUtils.length(person.name)} {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFACES-189?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Dan Allen commented on SEAMFACES-189: ------------------------------------- Static methods work. So this is just a support for collections issue. Namely, we want to support magic methods (missing methods) on collections that don't have those methods. This is an important usability feature for Seam 2 developers. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
