Jochen Wiedmann commented on FREEMARKER-40:
-------------------------------------------

And, btw, a more helpful error message would, IMO, fix this issue, because the 
user can easily fix the bean class, if he , or she knows the reason.

>             Project: Apache Freemarker
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: engine
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.25-incubating

> 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
