> can't assign a velocity reference to the return value of a method when the

> Key: VELOCITY-141
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-141
> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 1.3-rc1
> Environment: Operating System: other
> Platform: All
> Reporter: Robert Thornton
> Assigned To: Velocity-Dev List
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.4
>
>
> I understand this is not a bug, and that it is a documented feature, but I
> fail
> to see the logic behind preventing the template designer from assigning a
> reference to the return value of a method when that method returns null. It
> can easily lead to unexpected results unless great care is taken, and it
> prevents the use of temporary references within foreach loops. This behavior
> is contrary to that of all other templating languages I've seen and there is
> not even an adequate explanation for it.
