I don't know much about UEL but did run into a rounding issue.
I chose to instead use <calculate> so I could control precision.

Subject: JUEL rounding issues
Out of curiosity today I ran a couple of simple tests using JUEL's
numeric expressions and the results are a bit worrying, here's some
example code:
<set field="value1" value="0.0001" type="BigDecimal"/>
<set field="value2" value="10" type="BigDecimal"/>
<set field="resultValue" value="${value1 / value2}" type="BigDecimal"/>
<log level="always" message="${resultValue}"></log>
and here are some example results:
0.0001 / 10 = 0
10 / 3 = 3
10.89879 + 6.8978336 = 17.797
10.89879 * 6.8978336 = 75.178
10 - 2.5001 = 7.5
I don't have time right this minute to fix it so just reporting here
so people are aware. Adrian, I'm not asking you to fix it but if you
have any pointers or suggestions they'd be most welcome.
