Re: [Webmacro-devel] setprops directive

[Lane S. <la...@op...>]

#bean $Time = "java.util.Date"
#bean $Duration = "com.opendoors.entity.fundamental.Duration" onNew
{
#set $Duration.Start = $Variable.get("Time")
#set $Duration.End = $Variable.get("Time")
#set $Duration.End = $Time
}


works fine.

so there is a bug in the #setprops unless this is a "feature", 
converting all RHS evaluations to string.
