Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-4545:
------------------------------------
That is precisely what I have been referring to. Freemarker = client code. The
client code should pass valid arguments to the method. If there is a chance
myGenericValue.date can be null, then the template needs to resolve it before
calling the method.
The problem with low-level code accepting invalid arguments and returning
arbitrary values is that there is no way of knowing if you've done something
wrong when calling the method. Worse yet, everyone has a different opinion on
what the default returned value should be - so you end up with a complicated
and convoluted API.
