Content wrapper hides java attributes and methods from freemarker (e.g.
myContent.class.name)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAGNOLIA-3572
URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MAGNOLIA-3572
Project: Magnolia
Issue Type: Bug
Components: freemarker, templating
Affects Versions: 4.4.2
Reporter: Will Scheidegger
Assignee: Boris Kraft
The "specificities" (see
http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/reference/templating/freemarker.html#WorkingwithMagnoliacontent)
of how Magnolia handles content objects in Freemarker templates break all
access to regular methods of the java object since the dot-notation is pretty
much kidnapped and only node datas are returned. To "fix" that, special content
properties starting with @... were introduced.
It would been cleaner if the "@..." notation would have been used for accessing
jcr attributes (i.e. node datas) and the rest would behave normally, so
${myContent.class} should return the Class object my calling the getClass()
method.
${myContent.@class} should return the JCR attribute named "class"
Of course this might be my personal preference, but fact is that I cannot call
the getClass() method the way the wrapper ojbect works now but you could get
both (JCR attribute and method()) the other way around.
