Thanks. I found that myself along with scala-javautils in github by Jorge Ortiz which helps out with the converting from Scala collections to Java ones.
The @BeanProperty annotation works fine for val and vars but is not helpful if your passing around mapper instances where the attribs/ props are objects. Of course passing a mapper instance to a 3rd party lib is probably not a good idea anyway so my solution is to add a toDto () to my class which creates an immutable data transfer object or value object from its state which when passed into velocity (with @BeanProperty annotations) works as expected. Thanks again.
