Marcus Warm updated JEXL-304:
-----------------------------
Description:
I'm a user and committer of the JXLS framework. It uses JEXL to evaluate
expressions. Since JEXL 3 it's not possible to evaluate "overview.limit.var".
It was possible in V2. In our context "var" means "Value At Risk". I know "var"
is a reserved word in JEXL. But in this "dotted-variables" context I think JEXL
should try to use it as a variable, because it makes no sense as a var (=define
variable) command.
{code:java}
public void testVar() {
JexlEngine jexlEngine = new JexlBuilder().strict(false).create();
JexlExpression jexlExpresssion =
jexlEngine.createExpression("overview.limit.var");
HashMap map3 = new HashMap();
map3.put("var", "4711");
HashMap map2 = new HashMap();
map2.put("limit", map3);
HashMap map = new HashMap();
map.put("overview", map2);
MapContext context = new MapContext(map);
Object value = jexlExpresssion.evaluate(context);
assertEquals("4711", value); // fails
}
{code}
Error message:
{code:java}
