Hey Toby:
Did as you instructed and worked. Thanks a lot Toby. Let me know should you
need anything. I'm glad to help.


Another question about Janino: I'm getting the following exception on the
live app-engine when the dynamic code (the code that is compiled by janino)
has a compilation error:

An error occurred: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
(java.lang.RuntimePermissions accessDeclaredMembers)


On the local environment, janino returns the line number where the error
occurred, which is very helpful for the students.

Cheers,
Albert Attard
