George Scott commented on JEXL-140:
-----------------------------------
I understand wanting to keep Jexl lean, and the need to be able to sandbox for
those that require it. Both noble goals.
Your sample works perfectly - just what I was looking for. It also works for
accessing static fields (like java.lang.Integer.MIN_VALUE).
> Improvements for invoking static methods

> Key: JEXL-140
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-140
> Project: Commons JEXL
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: George Scott
> Assignee: Henri Biestro
> Priority: Minor

> Two related suggestions:
> 1. The documentation does not really describe how to call a static method
> from a JEXL script. I believe that it is done this way:
> {noformat}
> class="".class;
> return class.forName("java.lang.System").getenv("test");
> {noformat}
> 2. Implementing a class() function that parallels the existing new() function
> would make calling static methods easier, helping to clean up scripts. The
> above example would become:
> {noformat}
> return class("java.lang.System").getenv("test");
> {noformat}
