Description Joseph Marques 2008-09-10 13:30:00 UTC

basically, instead of allowing the creation of the expression, and then blowing up later...it should disallow the creation and provide a convenient error message.  if a user enters an expression like:

resource.id.contains = 42

it should print a message along the lines of "can not apply a string function to an expression that resolves to an integer type"

Comment 1 Joseph Marques 2008-09-10 13:33:44 UTC

rev1415 - disallow the application of string functions to expressions that are known not to resolve to strings;

Comment 2 Charles Crouch 2008-09-10 14:40:48 UTC

So the issue in the above example is the .id not the 42 right? So this wouldn't work either

resource.id.contains = myString

but

resource.pluginConfiguration[port] = 8080

where port is an integer will work, at least now that RHQ-803 is fixed?

Comment 3 Jeff Weiss 2008-09-19 18:54:57 UTC

Now get "Syntax error in your group definition: Can not apply a string function to an expression that resolves to Integer "

rev1547.
