Problem with jx template and jexl method parameters - is this a bug?

[Mark H <ma...@markhorgan.com>]

I'm trying call a method with -1 as one it's parameters in jxtemplate/jexl:

<jx:forEach var="service"
select="${db.getServices('na',1,'Alresford','Wivenhoe',-1)}">

but I get the following error

org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Failed to execute pipeline.:
file:/d:/web/websites/JourneyCheck-1.2/xml/test/jx/database.jx:3:91:org.apac
he.commons.jexl.parser.ParseException: Encountered "-" at line 1, column 46.
Was expecting one of: <INTEGER_LITERAL> ... <FLOAT_LITERAL> ... "null" ...
"true" ... "false" ... <IDENTIFIER> ... <STRING_LITERAL> ... "(" ... "empty"
... "size" ... "~" ... "!" ... "not" ...

shouldn't jexl be able to handle -1 as a parameter?

Yes, it's a bug in Jexl. I've just checked in a new version of Jexl that 
fixes the problem.
