Expressions

An expression can be:

• a groovy expression prefixed by eval
• expression JPQL: JPQL SELECT query prefixed with select
• action: another action prefixed with action
• constant: the value is considered as a constant

The rule is that if a value is not fixed in advance, it is regarded as a constant and not an expression prefix is considered a groovy expression.

Predefined variables can be used in xml:

• __date__: Today's date
• __time__: Date + time of day
• __datetime__: Date + time of day corresponding to the local time zone. Used for fields that define the attribute tz = "true"
• __user__: User logged
• __this__: The values entered in the view of the current record.
• __self__: registered in the database of the current record values
