----------------------------------------
Summary: Support properties of classes that extend collections
Key: FREEMARKER-45
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-45
Project: Apache Freemarker
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Alexander Hars
Currently Freemarker wraps classes that extend a collection using specialized
adapters (for example if MyClass extends java.util.List then this class is
wrapped using the DefaultListAdapter). This has the effect that all non-list
properties of MyClass are inaccessible for use in the template.
Assume that MyClass has a method getMyProperty and a MyClass instance is added
to the data model using the hash ''myinstance', then the template
${myinstance.MyProperty} leads to the following error message:
FreeMarker template error:
For "." left-hand operand: Expected a hash, but this has evaluated to a
sequence (MyClass wrapped into f.t.DefaultListAdapter):
Freemarker needs to expose the non collection-related properties in the same
way as it would on a simple object that does not extend a collection. Support
for collections should not come at the expense of features that are already
available for plain objects.
