Hello Tiago,
Thanks for your reply.
I should have said it's a Global Constant, rather then variable. It meant to
be a fixed value.
Got it worked out in the end, as per your suggestion
#set($document = $xwiki.getDocument("Space.DocName"))
#set($object = $document.getObject("Classname"))
#set($var = $doc.get("propertyName"))
then split the string into array.
$var.split(",")
Thanks again.
