console output from jexl block

[Dhiman Karmakar]

Hi All,

SFTB.

I would like to write to console from the jexl block. If I use System.out.println, the jexl parser throws an error. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Dhiman

Hi Dhiman,

I didn't find a simple way to invoke Java statics from JEXL. As a workaround I suggest to use ClassUtils from EtlVariable:

    <script connection-id="jexl">

        class:forName('java.lang.System').out.println("Message goes here");

    </script>

I thought about adding logging support directly in the EtlVariable by returning a java.util.logging.Logger instance. I was wondering if you are interested in that feature?

Best Regards,

Fyodor

Thanks Fyodor. It worked.

It would be a good feature to include logging.

Hi All,

Do we have the option to log values on the template using native commands and without using Script tags?

Unfortunately no. If you don't mind, can you please submit a request at https://github.com/scriptella/scriptella-etl/issues ?
