Hi Matthias (and Nathan),
Thanks for your quick replies.
I have changed my classes to public, and that helps a bit. Actually the
example I gave was a test I wrote to mimic my actual application's class
hierarchy, and in my real application I was only having a problem with the
$bo.get("a") scenario. Now my test exactly matches my real scenario, in that:
$bo.A
$bo.getA()
$bo.get("a")
$bo2.get($a)
Now yields:
1
1
$bo.get("a")
1
So I'm still confused; why doesn't $bo.get("a") work?
Sincerely,
Daryl.

Hello Daryl,
well, your class is package private and it must be of public type.
You added a package private class into the velocity context.
This class is not accessible for velocity.
Declare the class BO public and it should work.
What else might confuse you - it confused me :-) - is, that if a method
returns "null" in java, velocity logs an invalid reference message.
This might happen for $Map.put(value). To ommit this, use the silent notation
like $!Map.put(value). This notation ignores the return value from the put
method.
Regards
Matthias
