Thanks Chris, that helps answer my question.

I could be mistaken, but I think you'll find the "language", if you
can call it that, pleasantly dumb compared to OGNL. Let me disclaim
once more - you should consult the docs - but I don't believe there
are any operators at all. In templates you simply have 3 constructs:
1) Expansions. These are similar to what you find in ant (and maven?),
where expressions with in ${} are resolved depending on the binding
prefix.
2) Binding prefixes. Things like "prop:" and "message:" instruct T5 to
either attempt to resolve a property or a message. There are several
default prefixes and you can write your own. If you saw fit to have
operators of some sort, my guess is you'd need to write a binding
prefix for it (see docs).
3) Property access. The default prefix for component parameters is
"prop:". Properties are resolved from the containing page or
component, and are expressed as: object.property. Say you want to
print the email of the logged in user; your page contains a property
"user" that in turn has a property "email". T5 uses bean naming
conventions, so your page must provide access to the "user" property
via a method getUser(). For it to resolve the "email" property on the
user object, the user object must have a method getEmail().
hope that helps.

Hi all
Can anyone point me to some documentation on writing expressions in
tapestry templates. I am looking for some examples of operators and
general syntax.
Thanks
Peter
