pixiang.lq commented on VELOCITY-881:
-------------------------------------

At first, thank you for your answers Claude Brisson.

I have try to force a rendering with code like: 

#if( "$some.reference" == 'some value')

but it still doesn't work, and the output was:
--------------------------
<bean class="MY_CLASS2">
<property name="MY_PROPERTY_NAME2">
        <value>${provider.version}</value>
</property>
</bean>
--------------------------

I know "${deploy.domain} will always be null, since Velocity will first search 
the context for a deploy property". But in our team property naming conventions 
is "property.name", like "provider.version", rather than "property_name". So  
"reference insertion handler" mechanism is a good way for us to replace the 
value when velocity got value null.

"$foo.bar.baz would call the handler three times, which is not at all 
desirable."  In fact  $foo.bar.baz would call the handler only one times and i 
have debug to verify that. 
-----------------------------------
public Object execute(Object o, InternalContextAdapter context) throws 
MethodInvocationException {
        if(this.referenceType == 4) {
            return null;
        } else {
            {color:red}Object result = this.getVariableValue(context, 
this.rootString);{color}
            this.log.error(String.format("rootString:%s, result:%s", 
this.rootString, result));
            if(result == null && !this.strictRef) {
                return EventHandlerUtil.invalidGetMethod(this.rsvc, context, 
this.getDollarBang() + this.rootString, (Object)null, (String)null, 
this.uberInfo);
            } else {
            ........

At last, may be  my suggestion is not good for performance in other scenes and 
my be have another way to solute this. I fill it very strange that "reference 
insertion handler"  mechanism has give a way to replace the inserted value in 
the template, but it not support to replace the reference in if statement.
