>             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.
