Hello Adam, We can't pass *null* from ftl if we have to pass null then we can use *NULL* like:
<#assign productStroe = delegator.findList("ProductStore",NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL, false) /> Passing *null* is prohibited in NodeListModel class (http://www.docjar.org/docs/api/freemarker/ext/xml/NodeListModel.html). To create an empty model, pass it an empty collection. If we pass an empty list in new findByAnd method then it should work fine: <#assign shipmentReceipts = delegator.findByAnd("ShipmentReceipt", {"orderId": orderHeader.getString("orderId"), "orderItemSeqId": orderItem.orderItemSeqId}, [], false)/> I have tested it and its working fine.
