[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-2667) EL variable substitution is replacing non EL

[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-2667?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12426226#action_12426226 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-2667:
--------------------------------------------

Why would you *ever* want that behavior ? 

That forces you to basically do parse *all* strings for replacement. Massive performance hog and very weak semantics of what gets replaced.

Users should enter 'projectName' in the UI and then dependent on the context we replace #{projectName} or ${projectName}  (when is ${} btw. used in xhtml?)

> It looks like the EL replacement is just doing pure string replacement.
> If I put in "projectName" as an EL variable I do not expect it to replace all occurcences of the string "projectName".
> I do expect it to only replace #{projectName}
