It's a simple Expression Language (EL) for Java, the code base sometime ago was migrated to the Apache commons ognl and this source code is used just to maintenance 3.x branch. The new version from Apache will start from 4.x
Out of incubator and now officially found here http://commons.apache.org/ognl/
- How to run OGNL in Google AppEngine?
- you need to tell OGNL to not do security manager permission checks, which will fail since GAE has a security manager and you don't have the ability to add the OGNL-specific permissions. Therefore, somewhere in your initialization code, add this
OgnlRuntime.setSecurityManager(null);

- makes
OgnlContexta bit more immutableTypeConvertercan be set only when creating a new context, the setter won't work anymore- Implementation of the
MemberAccessis required when crearting a new context, you must always provide your own DefaultMemberAccessis only available in tests, it won't be used when there was no customMemberAccessprovided, an exception will be thrown in such case
