SimpleResolver does not handle Lists

If you work with SimpleContext and SimpleResolver,

paths with '[]' syntax will not work if the data are

stored in an ArrayList :

" The class 'java.util.ArrayList' does not have the

property '0' "

ListELResolver must be included to have it work.

The default constructor of SimpleResolver is used to create

the EL resolver. This constructor automatically creates a

chain of delegates to resolve bean properties, array

elements, mappled values, etc.

Unfortunately, the resolver to handle list elements is

missing here! This means,

that you won't be able to evaluate ${list[42]}, if variable

'list' refers to a

java.util.List.

To fix this, either wait for the next JUEL release and

replace the jar or -

for juel 2.1.0-rc2 or older - create the chain of resolver

delegates by hand:

CompositeELResolver chain = new CompositeELResolver();

chain.add(new ArrayELResolver());

chain.add(new ListELResolver()); // !!!

chain.add(new MapELResolver());

chain.add(new ResourceBundleELResolver());

chain.add(new BeanELResolver());

ELResolver resolver = new SimpleResolver(chain);

ELContext context = new SimpleContext(resolver);
