Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: JELLY-78
    Summary: Null variables are passed over by scope inheritance
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Minor

 Time Spent: Unknown
  Remaining: Unknown

    Project: jelly
 Components: 
             core / taglib.core

Description:
If I explicitly assign variable foo a null value in the current scope but it has a value in some parent scope, findVariable() will bypass the null value in favor of the non-null value up the chain.

This is because JellyContext.getVariable & findVariable just test the result of variables.get(name) against null instead of also checking with containsKey like this:

       Object value = variables.get(name);
       if ( value == null
         && !variables.containsKey(name)
         && isInherit() ) {

....


Perhaps this is an explicit design decision, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
