Kennard Consulting updated JEXL-138:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
JEXL displays an erroneous "inaccessible or unknown property" warning when you 
try to access a property is both accessible, and known, but that happens to 
return null.

Please see the attached test case. JEXL reports:

{{'foo.bar;' inaccessible or unknown property foo}}

But foo is clearly an accessible and known property because it is accessed 
directly 2 lines above, and 1 line above we access 'foo.baz' which works 
without error.

The difference seems to be that getBaz() returns "baz" whereas getBar() returns 
null.

JEXL displays an erroneous "inaccessible or unknown property" warning when you 
try to access a property is both accessible, and known, but that happens to

Consider the following code:

---
        public void testInaccessibleProperty()
                throws Exception {

                JexlEngine engine = new JexlEngine();
                JexlContext context = new MapContext();
                context.set( "foo", new Foo() );

                // These lines okay

                System.out.println( engine.createExpression( "foo" ).evaluate( 
context ));
                System.out.println( engine.createExpression( "foo.baz" 
).evaluate( context ));

                // This line says:
                // org.apache.commons.jexl2.Interpreter unknownVariable
                // WARNING: 
org.metawidget.example.swing.appframework.JexlTest.testInaccessibleProperty@44![0,7]:
 'foo.bar;' inaccessible or unknown property foo

                System.out.println( engine.createExpression( "foo.bar" 
).evaluate( context ));
        }

        public class Foo {

                public String getBar() {
                        return null;
                }

                public String getBaz() {
                        return "baz";
                }
        }
