This leads to any decimal places getting truncated when performing > operations like divide. > EL should be improved to enable the user to evaluate math expressions using > doubles. > Another desired portion of this would be to open up the static Math class [1] > methods (using reflection) to further enable working with Decimals. > [1] https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Math.html -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
