Henri Biestro commented on JEXL-134:
------------------------------------
Thanks for the bug report.
The culprit is the usage of trim in JexlArithemtic coercion methods toDouble
and toBigDecimal which, in this case, will treat strings as empty and allow
coercion to 0.
As a workaround, till 2.1.2 is released, you can derive JexlArithmetic and
override the add method to treat String arguments early as in the following
example.
Hope this helps.
{code}
public static class Arithmetic134 extends JexlArithmetic {
public Arithmetic134() {
super(false);
}
@Override
public Object add(Object lhs, Object rhs) {
if (lhs instanceof String && rhs instanceof String) {
return ((String) lhs) + ((String) rhs);
} else {
return super.add(lhs, rhs);
}
}
}
@Test
public void test134() throws Exception {
JexlEngine jexl = new JexlEngine(null, new Arithmetic134(), null, null);
String jexlExp = "$$__INPUT + nl";
Expression e = jexl.createExpression( jexlExp );
// Create a context and add data
JexlContext jc = new MapContext();
jc.set("$$__INPUT", "\r" );
jc.set("nl", "\n");
// Now evaluate the expression, getting the result
Object o = e.evaluate(jc);
assertEquals("\r\n", o);
}
{code}
> Issue with evaluation of concat of variables : \r + \n gives 0
