6.1p: <templateFile> seems not to support Velocity, even though it should

[Blama]

Hi Isomorphic,

as long as this is not working I need a workaround for the customer that needs this feature. My workaround is to still use my default html template and with a velocity-{if} another template if the request is for that customer.
Per the docs, <templateFile> is a VelocityExpression, but this test shows that it is not evaluated at all.
Here I'm using one of your default variables, in my case I'd inject a class here before. Tested using v11.1p_2018-03-17.

BuiltInDS animals.ds.xml:

<DataSource ID="animals" serverType="sql" tableName="animals" testFileName="animals.data.xml">
    <fields>
        <field name="commonName" title="Animal" type="text" />
        <field name="scientificName" title="Scientific Name" type="text" primaryKey="true" required="true" />
        <field name="lifeSpan" title="Life Span" type="integer" />
        <field name="status" title="Endangered Status" type="text">
            <valueMap>
                <value>Threatened</value>
                <value>Endangered</value>
                <value>Not Endangered</value>
                <value>Not currently listed</value>
                <value>May become threatened</value>
                <value>Protected</value>
            </valueMap>
        </field>
        <field name="diet" title="Diet" type="text" />
        <field name="information" title="Interesting Facts" type="text" length="1000" />
        <field name="picture" title="Picture" type="image" detail="true" imageURLPrefix="/isomorphic/system/reference/inlineExamples/tiles/images/" />
    </fields>
    <operationBindings>
        <operationBinding operationType="fetch">
            <mail contentType="text/html">
                <from>foobar@test.com</from>
                <to>foobar@test.com</to>
                <subject>TESTMAIL</subject>
[B]<templateFile>$currentDate</templateFile>[/B]
            </mail>
            <criteria fieldName="commonName" operator="equals" value="Anteater" />
        </operationBinding>
    </operationBindings>
</DataSource>

ARC request to http://127.0.0.1:8888/builtinds/sc/RESTHandler:

<request>
    <dataSource>animals</dataSource>
    <operationType>fetch</operationType>
</request>

Result:

<response>
<status>
-1
</status>
<queueStatus>
-1
</queueStatus>
<data>
[B]C:\Users\Myuser\workspace\lib\smartgwtpower-6.1p\samples\built-in-ds\war\$currentDate (Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden)[/B]
</data>
 </response>

I'd expect the $currentDate to be replaced by some date string.
Of course this testcase is not useful if it were replaced, but it shows that the velocity replacement does not take place.
