JEXL 2.1.1 - Big Decimal Literal in expression String causing Parsing Error

Question

I am trying to use BigDecimal Literal in expression String
I am using JEXL 2.1.1
I am using literal suffix 'h' as mentioned in http://commons.apache.org/jexl/reference/syntax.html#Literals

JexlEngine expressionFactory = new JexlEngine();
JexlContext context = new MapContext();
context.set ( "a", new BigDecimal( "0.0002" ));
Expression expression = expressionFactory.createExpression(" a > 42.0h "  );
boolean result=(Boolean)expression.evaluate( context );

I am getting below exception

org.apache.commons.jexl2.JexlException$Parsing: h@1:24 parsing error near '... , missing  ...'

Answer 1

It looks like a documentation bug. Correct Big Decimal Suffix is 'B' (Instead of 'H' )
Correct Big Integer Suffix is 'H' (Instead of 'B')
This can be clearly verified by looking at ASTNumberLiteral.java

I have raised this issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-141
