Alex created JEXL-374:
-------------------------

             Summary: No exception if dereferencing null object using safe(false) and antish(false)
                 Key: JEXL-374
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-374
             Project: Commons JEXL
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
            Reporter: Alex
         Attachments: ObjectContextNullRefTest-1.java

I create a JexlEngine as follows:

new JexlBuilder().cache(512).strict(true).silent(false).safe(false).antish(false).create();

with these options, I expected that if I evaluate an expression like 'nested.name' and nested is null, that an exception similar to an NPE will be thrown, instead it returns null, the behaviour I would expected if safe were true.  I also noticed that I can put anything like 'foo.name' and it also returns null.  I am including the workaround from JEXL-370.

 

I've attached a test class to demonstrate the example. Please let me know if any extra info is needed, and as always, thanks for all the great work on Jexl.
