>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 3.0
>            Reporter: Constantin Mitocaru

> In jexl2 this code correctly outputs the line:
> {code}
> null
> {code}
> {code:java}
>         JexlEngine jexl = new JexlEngine();
>         Record r = new Record();
>         r.setHeader(new RecordHeader());
>         JexlContext jc = new MapContext();
>         jc.set("r", r );
>         jc.set("com.s.objects.record.RecordUtils", com.s.objects.record.RecordUtils.class );
>         Expression e = jexl.createExpression( "com.s.objects.record.RecordUtils.getHeaderAgeOrResolveItFromDOB(r)" );
>         System.out.println( e.evaluate(jc) );        
> {code}
> The signature of the method getHeaderAgeOrResolveItFromDOB() is:
> {code:java}
>         public static Integer getHeaderAgeOrResolveItFromDOB( final Record rec ) {
>         ...
>         }
> {code}
> But in jexl3 this code produces:
> {code}
> 	class com.s.objects.record.RecordUtils
> {code}
> {code:java}
>         JexlEngine jexl = new JexlBuilder().create();
>         Record r = new Record();
>         r.setHeader(new RecordHeader());
>         JexlContext jc = new MapContext();
>         jc.set("r", r );
>         jc.set("com.s.objects.record.RecordUtils", com.s.objects.record.RecordUtils.class );
>         JexlExpression e = jexl.createExpression( "com.s.objects.record.RecordUtils.getHeaderAgeOrResolveItFromDOB(r)" );
>         System.out.println( e.evaluate(jc) );        
> {code}
> So it returns the class of the utility rather than the value null! For non null values it returns the proper type (Integer);
> I think jexl3 version 3.0 was not really ready for prime time.
> I really screwed up my project upgrading to 3.0.
> When do you guys anticipate to release 3.1?
> Is there a way to work with a snapshot after this fix?
