> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Bug

> Reporter: Asmodean

> When creating a Map using the velocity 1.5 syntax ({key:value,...}) it seems
> I can only add objects (except Strings) as map values if the last map entry
> is quoted. The following (where $object is put into context before, of
> course) will produce a parse exception:
> #set ($map = {"key": $object})
> Where the following will not:
> #set ($map = {"key": $object, "anotherkey":"anothervalue"})
> The "anotherkey": "anothervalue" entry does the trick in the form of "":"" as
> well, but something is up here. OR this is a map creation "flaw" not
> documented. Using the following will of course not get the desired result:
> #set ($map = {"key": "$object"})
> since velocity will evaluate the $object reference and use its .toString()
> (where what you wanted to do was probably to add the actual object).
> Would appreciate comments that could indicate if my thinking here is flawed
> or if it actually is a bug.
