Daniel Dekany commented on FREEMARKER-57:
-----------------------------------------

You haven't included the error message. But if it's that {{getName}} is null or 
missing, then I guess that either the {{Motor}} class or its {{getName()}} 
method is not public. (To be more precise, if {{public String getName()}} is 
inherited from a public class, then {{Motor}} itself need not be public.)

It's not related to the error, but note that instead of things like 
{{system.getMotor().getName()}} you can write {{system.motor.name}}.

> My situation: Create two classes Car and Motor in which class Car has a 
> reference object to Motor. Now while iterating through the system list it is 
> possible to display all the values like:
> <li>${system_index + 1}.${system.name} from and has a 
> ${system.getMotor()}</li>
> The motor variable outputs its toString() method. However when trying to 
> access the variable of the motor name, like this:
> <li>${system_index + 1}.${system.name} from ${system.developer} and has a 
> ${system.getMotor().getName()}</li>
> FreeMarker outputs the following message:
> ==> ${system.getMotor().getName()} [on line 12, column 75 in helloworld.ftl]
> How can i access the variable getName of the Motor class?
