Lars Helge Ă˜verland updated JEXL-172:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
It seems that evaluating expressions which contains nested divisions causes an 
exception to be thrown with cause "divide error".

The following expression is valid math and should return 100:

1 / (1 / 100)

Instead it throws:

org.apache.commons.jexl2.JexlException: 
org.hisp.dhis.commons.util.ExpressionUtils.evaluate@81![0,13]: '1 / (1 / 100);' 
divide error

This only applies to strict mode. However it could be argued that this should 
pass even in strict mode.

I could not find anything in the docs about this so please excuse me if I 
missed something.
