             Summary: Engine in strict mode fails to fail on unsolvable 
variables or properties 
                 Key: JEXL-245
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-245
             Project: Commons JEXL
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.1
            Reporter: Ate Douma


I've been running into some weird and unexpected behavior where the expectancy 
is that the Engine throws a unsolvable property exception.

Example code:

{code:java}
import org.apache.commons.jexl3.*;

public class JexlTest {

    public Object getBar() {
        return null;
    }

    private static void testJexl(final JexlEngine engine, final JexlContext 
ctx, final String expression) {
        System.out.print("test ("+expression+"): ");
        try {
            
System.out.println(engine.createExpression(expression).evaluate(ctx));
        } catch (JexlException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }

    public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception {
        MapContext ctx = new MapContext();
        JexlEngine engine = new 
JexlBuilder().strict(true).silent(false).create();
        ctx.set("foo", new JexlTest());
        testJexl(engine, ctx, "foo.bar");
        testJexl(engine, ctx, "foo.bar.baz");
        testJexl(engine, ctx, "foo.baz");
    }
}{code}
Which produces the following output:
{code}
test (foo.bar): null
test (foo.bar.baz): null
test (foo.baz): JexlTest.testJexl@1:4 unsolvable property 'baz'
{code}

The problem with the the second test, where accessing the property foo.bar.baz 
of the non-existing variable bar is not throwing an exception.
The third test demonstrates a similar/same scenario where accessing the 
non-existing property foo.baz is throwing the expected exception.
