[jxpath] BigDecimal maths

[Jim Alateras <ji...@bigpond.net.au>]

Hi,

I was just whether JXPath supports BigDecimal maths without lose of 
precision. I suspect that it is not supported in the 1.2 distribution 
since all maths operations seem to be done in doubles. If the later is 
correct then what would be the best approach to extending JXPath to 
support BigDecimal....would the following work


1 extending org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.compiler.TreeCompiler to create 
operations that use BigDecimal instead of double.

2. extending org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.JXPathContextReferenceImpl to
a. override getCompiler() to return the custom TreeCompiler
b. override getRelativeContext() to return the custom 
JXPathContextReferenceImpl

3. extending JXPathContextFactory to return the custom 
JXPathContextReferenceImpl

4. configuring JXPathContextFactory to load the custom JXPathContextFactory


cheers
