Hi,
I am trying to use JEXL 1.1 embedded within a J2SE application.

I am trying to create a map in JEXL as described here http://commons.apache.org/jexl/reference/syntax.html#Literals

My expression looks something like this:

String myExpression="[\"key1\"=>\"value1\",\"key2\"=>\"value2\"]";

However JEXL throws the exception below when I try to create the expression object using:

ExpressionFactory.createExpression(myExpression);

How does my expression need to look like if evaluating the expression should return a Map object.

Thanks in advance,
Seb

The exception:
--------------
