I would prefer it if no rounding occurs anywhere, there's really only
two places it needs to occur:
1. For division (even then only when the result would cause infinite
precision e.g. 10 / 3)
2. When you're ready to arrive at the final result in a series of
calculations

Yes the default is too small if precision is an issue. But at least
you have control over it.

That is one solution but it would be nice to fix JUEL. By the way I
just had quick look at the calculate method and if you don't set a
decimal-scale then 2 is used which seems a bit of a worry as well.

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.
