Concordion uses OGNL (Object Graph Notation Language) to reference fields and call methods of the corresponding test fixture and to set specification variables.
By default, Concordion deliberately restricts the expression format that is allowed.
However, if you really want to remove this restriction you can apply the annotation @FullOGNL to your fixture class to allow
complex expressions.
This would allow you to do things like
pass property values of Java beans into methods
, or use constant values in concordion:execute commands.
Complex expressions should be used with caution in order to keep your specifications simple.
The Default column shows whether the Expression is valid by default in Concordion. The @FullOGNL column checks that the Expression is valid when you apply the annotation
@FullOGNL to your fixture class.
