How to use objects in velocity template ?

[edulid]

Hi,

I put an object into the session properties with:

session.setAttribute("myObject", new MyClass());

MyClass is just a testClass with a method returning a Long and expecting an argument (DSRequest):

public class MyClass {
   public Long getLong(DSRequest dsRequest) {
      return 4l;
   }
}

In my template I put the following:

<operationBinding operationType="fetch">
        <whereClause><![CDATA[
                employeeId = ((com.smartgwt.sample.server.MyClass)$session.get("myObject")).getLong($dsRequest)
        ]]></whereClause>
        </operationBinding>

But I get:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM employeeTable WHERE 
                employeeId = ((com.smartgwt.sample.server.MyClass)'com.smartgwt.sample.server.MyClass@41c7d866').getLong('com.isomorphic.datasource.DSRequest@18ad63cb')

So how to do this ? Call the method getLong() and give as an argument the DSRequest.

Using smartgwt 6.1p power

Velocity doesn't use the Java compiler, so the typecast is not needed and the parens you applied end up making Velocity not see the second method invocation.
