Description

We get a strange result with variable and/or pointer using.

Work well :
context.getVariables().declareVariable("v1", "Dmitri");
Pointer pointer1 = context.getPointer("/employees
[firstName=$v1]/lastName");
Pointer pointer2 = context.getPointer("/employees[firstName=$v1]");

Doesn't seem to work :
context.getVariables().declareVariable("v1", "Dmitri");
Pointer pointer1 = context.getPointer("/employees[firstName=$v1]");
Pointer pointer2 = context.getPointer("/employees[firstName=$v1]");

Reference pointer1 is a "BeanPointer".
Reference pointer2 is a "NullPointer", so its "getValue" method return
always "null".

We can obtain only one pointer corresponding to a given expression. This
problem appears only with path containing variables.
