You need getLocation() and getLabel() methods in your Hyperlink class. 
 The Velocity engine doesn't access the properties of Objects, it uses 
get/set methods to access them (as per the Beans spec).

So

$h1.Location

is interpreted as

h1.getLocation()



#set($h1.Location = "here")

would be interpreted as

h1.setLocation("here")
