According to the commons-jexl change logs, a breaking change was released in 3.0:
"Syntactically enforce that expressions do not contain statements: POTENTIAL EXPRESSION BREAK! (ie an expression is not a script and can NOT use 'if','for'... and blocks)" I was able to fix this by switching from JexlExpression to JexlScript. I have a small patch that I'm happy to contribute!
