> Key: VELOCITY-528
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-528
> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 1.5
> Environment: Windows XP SP2, JDK 1.5
> Reporter: Michael Giroux
> Fix For: 1.6
>
>
> Migrated from Velocity 1.4 to 1.5. I have several templates that ran in 1.4
> and now fail in 1.5. I raised this in the mailing list and Nathan Bubna
> asked me to file a bug.
> This is probably an error in my template, but 1.4 allowed it to execute
> without complaints. I might have been lucky that nothing bad happened.
> Existing templates contain the following.
> public $method.returnType $method.name(
> #foreach($param in $parameters)
> ...
> #end
> The intent here is to emit a java method signature for a method named
> $method.name . This works in 1.4.
> In Velocity 1.5, an error is thrown indicating that the #foreach is
> unexpected. Velocity 1.5 is expecting a method parameter becuase the
> variable name is terminated by an open paren.
> I fixed the problem by adding curly braces to the template as follows:
> public $method.returnType ${method.name}(
> #foreach($param in $parameters)
> ...
> #end
> This is probably a bug in 1.4, and poor coding practice in my template, but
> given the fact that it did work and now doesn't, there should be some mention
> of this "improvement" in the 1.5 release notes.
