JavaScript substitution

Today is ${=new java.util.Date()}

will embed today's date into the field. The alternative is to declare the field with a script source:

"Today is " + new java.util.Date();

Both variants are equivalent in terms of performance and result, however the ${=...} syntax can be used anywhere a variable substitution is allowed, for example in a URL:

http://www.localhost.com/error-${=getYMD()}.log

where getYMD is a JavaScript function you have written to return a string of the form 20050804 thus forming a URL http://www.localhost.com/error-20050804.log
