>
> When ExpressionFactory.createNewExpression(...) takes an syntactically
> incorrect expression, JEXL throws TokenMgrError. However, typical callers
> (such as Jelly) don't expect such syntax error to be a java.lang.Error, so it
> fails to catch it.
> A typical outcome is therefore the thread to die completely, and even worse
> the stack trace doesn't report neither what was the expression that was being
> parsed, nor does it report any contextual information (again in case of
> Jelly, that would be where in the jelly script this error happened.)
> This makes the error diagnosis unnecessarily hard. I believe the proper thing
> to do is to wrap such an exception into java.lang.Exception or its sub-class,
> allowing the caller to catch it.
