I can understand your explanation but, if these lines are wrong, why these
are working?

I'm not sure where I'm lost... :-(

These 2 lines seem wrong:
objsAuthors = doc.getObjects('XWiki.XWikiComments').author
objsAuthor = doc.getObjects('XWiki.XWikiComments')[2].author
doc.getObjects() will return a List of objects (i.e. several), and there’s no
getAuthor() or get(‘author’) API on a Vector or List…
If you want to iterate you need to:
doc.getObjects('XWiki.XWikiComments’).each() {
def author = it.get(‘author’)
println “* ${author}"
}
I think the error is that in Velocity the call:
$doc.getObjects('XWiki.XWikiComments')[2].author is a shortcut and the real
call is:
$doc.getObjects('XWiki.XWikiComments')[2].get(‘author’)
See http://velocity.apache.org/engine/1.7/user-guide.html#property-lookup-rules
This doesn’t exist in Groovy so you need to write get(‘author’).

There’s this doc that you may or may not have seen already: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Scripting Please check in this doc the limitations of using groovy (programming rights). It’s easy to convert a velocity script in groovy in general since the bindings are the same and all the API calls are actually calls on java objects and thus are the same from all scripting languages. Let us know if you have specific questions.

[xwiki-users] Groovy equivalents to Velocity examples
Hi! After many years surviving with Velocity scripts, it is time to enjoy Groovy's magic! :-) Both XWiki sites and the web, in general, are crowded with sites/pages with plenty of Groovy tutorials and manuals, but it would be great to have some simple examples to helping understand the similarities and differences between Velocity and Groovy. Please, is there any XWiki resource explaining, for instance, how to achieve the same results shown in these sections by using Groovy? http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/APIGuide#HAccessobjectsinapage http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/APIGuide#HAccessobjectsfromanypageandloopoverallobjectsofsameClass Thanks for your help!
