             Summary: Unexpected divide error for numerator which contains division in strict mode
                 Key: JEXL-172
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-172
             Project: Commons JEXL
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.1.1
         Environment: Java 7 OpenJDK
            Reporter: Lars Helge Øverland
            Priority: Minor


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.
