Jochen Wiedmann commented on FREEMARKER-40:
-------------------------------------------
Please explain "... doesn't allow you to ..."
It works, and the implementation of an interface is a perfectly valid example,
where it is supposed to work.
> ClassIntrospector should detect public methods in non-public classes

> Key: FREEMARKER-40
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-40
> Project: Apache Freemarker
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: engine
> Affects Versions: 2.3.25-incubating
> Reporter: Jochen Wiedmann
> Assignee: Daniel Dekany
> Priority: Minor
>
> In ClassIntrospector.discoverAccessibleMethods, the assumption is made, that
> only public classes can have accessible methods. This is plainly wrong: For
> example, a private object might be implementing an interface.
> Freemarker should detect public gettters, and treat them as accessible. At
> the very least, it should inform the user about the problem. A message like
> "Key <propertyName> was not found on an instance of ..."
> should be replaced by
> "Key <propertyName> was not found on an instance of ..."
> "A possible reason is,that the class must be public."
> Thanks,
> Jochen
