--------------------------------
Need to add other keywords as identifier parts.
> Error parsing overview.limit.var
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: JEXL-304
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-304
> Project: Commons JEXL
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.1
> Reporter: Marcus Warm
> Assignee: Henri Biestro
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.2
>
>
> I'm a user and committer of the JXLS framework. It uses JEXL to evaluate
> expressions. Since JEXL 3 it's not possible to evaluate "overview.limit.var".
> It was possible in V2. In our context "var" means "Value At Risk". I know
> "var" is a reserved word in JEXL. But in this "dotted-variables" context I
> think JEXL should try to use it as a variable, because it makes no sense as a
> var (=define variable) command.
>
> {code:java}
> public void testVar() {
> JexlEngine jexlEngine = new JexlBuilder().strict(false).create();
> JexlExpression jexlExpresssion =
> jexlEngine.createExpression("overview.limit.var");
> HashMap map3 = new HashMap();
> map3.put("var", "4711");
> HashMap map2 = new HashMap();
> map2.put("limit", map3);
> HashMap map = new HashMap();
> map.put("overview", map2);
> MapContext context = new MapContext(map);
> Object value = jexlExpresssion.evaluate(context);
> assertEquals("4711", value); // fails
> }
> {code}
> Error message:
> {code:java}
