----------------------------------

             Summary: JxltEngine literal string strings ending in \ $ or # throw JxltEngine$Exception
                 Key: JEXL-315
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-315
             Project: Commons JEXL
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.1
            Reporter: Mike Bartlett


When parsing literal strings with the JxltEngine, if the string ends with \ $ or # a JxltEngine$Exception is thrown. Escaping the ending character works, but seems an unnecessary burden on the user.

Example:

JxltEngine jxltEngine = (new JexlBuilder()).create().createJxltEngine();
 Expression exp = jxltEngine.createExpression("Testing$");
 Object value = exp.evaluate(new MapContext());

Stack Trace:

Simple Fix in the code:

org.apache.commons.jexl3.internal.TemplateEngine

In method:
{quote}{{TemplateExpression parseExpression(JexlInfo info, String expr, Scope scope) { // CSOFF: MethodLength}}

 

{{for (int column = 0; column < size; ++column) {}}

{{  ...}}

{{}}}

{{// Add this code at the end of the for loop to h}}{{andle strings ending in \, # or $}}
{{ if (state == ParseState.ESCAPE) {}}

{{    strb.append('\\');}}

{{    state = ParseState.CONST;}}
{{ } else if (state == ParseState.DEFERRED0) {}}
{{    strb.append(deferredChar);}}
{{    state = ParseState.CONST;}}
{{ } else if (state == ParseState.IMMEDIATE0) {}}
{{    strb.append(immediateChar);}}
{{    state = ParseState.CONST;}}
{{ }}}

{{...}}
{quote}
