What exactly is the complaint here? I looked at the included log file,
and it's throwing a Parser Exception because of the references. I think
we've been through this before. You can't lead a reference off with a
number, and the '+' isn't allowed either, if I recall.
Now, I will agree that it should just consider it to be just text, but
that's not what you want anyway :)
So what I assume is happening is that your template isn't being parsed,
and therefore the variable template is null.
So in Form.trans(), you are calling Velocity.evaluate with a null
pointer as the input string, as you didn't set that either.
I will go fix Velocity.evaluate() so it throws a smarter exception,
telling you what's wrong, but you will have to fix your template either
way.
