el processor ignoring errors

[jbeaken]

Can anyone explain the thinking behind seam el not throwing an exception if it comes across a unknow el expression?

for example;

<h:outputText value="#{listInvitedUsersInFolderService.firstItem + 1} ... #{listInvitedUsersInFolderService.itemCount < listInvitedUsersInFolderServicefirstItem + listInvitedUsersInFolderServicebatchSize ? listInvitedUsersInFolderServiceitemCount : listInvitedUsersInFolderServicefirstItem + listInvitedUsersInFolderServicebatchSize}"/>

This output is not displayed, but the page is with no errors. I mistakenly omitted some full stops, it should be :

<h:outputText value="#{listInvitedUsersInFolderService.firstItem + 1} ... #{listInvitedUsersInFolderService.itemCount < listInvitedUsersInFolderService.firstItem + listInvitedUsersInFolderService.batchSize ? listInvitedUsersInFolderService.itemCount : listInvitedUsersInFolderService.firstItem + listInvitedUsersInFolderService.batchSize}"/>

To reiterate, why does the seam el processor not compain about the first expression? just out of interest you see..

thanks (using seam1.2.1, faclets, jboss 4.21)

It throws an exception if the syntax is invalid but not if it can't resolve a property. This is the behaviour of jsf.

Would it be possible to have a configuration option to enable logging of unresolved properties?

This would have to be a feature request for JSF RI (assuming you use JBoss 4.2)
