Object to access under velocity template.

[dhaval soni]

I want to access object prooperty under velocity template.

but it shows as below while trying to use passed velocityparameter under velocity template.

have passed

ReportObject rptObject = ReportObject();

velocityparameters.put("reportObject", rptObject);

In template, when i try to access rptObject's properoty through $reportObject.allWorkLogs

then, it shows as below:

<span>com.tutorial.jira.plugin.Reports.ReportObject@fa8de9.allWorkLogs // instead of showing properoty value.

Please correct me for the syntax here.

What is a ReportObject and what type of object does allWorkLogs return?

I suspect your velocity is simply getting an object back that it cannot display without further processing. Like a hashmap you need to iterate through or some internal Jira object type.

"ReportObject" is a class which i have created and trying to refer it's properties into velocity template.

allWorkLogs is a type of Map<Issue,List<Worklog>>

also other properties are - startdate, enddate which are type of "date".

Does it possible to access this object's prooperties into velocity template ?

If allWorkLogs is a map, then you need to iterate through it to extract data from it in your velocity.

I'd also try exposing reportObject.startdate to see how velocity handles a date object when it tries to display it - I'd actually expect you to see something recognisable as a date at least.

$reportObject.startDate prints "$reportObject.startDate" as it is .

$reportObject.$startDate prints "com.tutorial.jira.plugin.Reports.ReportObject@fa8de9.$dpDate"

please share your comments.. I will fine for any other alternatives to use custom object.

Hmm, that implies there's nothing in startDate in the reportObject you have retrieved. Is startDate an attribute or a function? If it's a function, you need reportObject.startDate( ) to fetch the result.

[dhaval soni]

all are properities as below:

public Map<Issue, List<Worklog>> allWorkLogs = new Hashtable<Issue, List<Worklog>>();

public DateTimeFormatter startDate;

I have also tried to add one new property as below

public String s ;

and it shows me same as it is ..

$reportObject.s // while render. (instead of showing assigned string (i.e. - "temp string var").

if i pass direct parameter to the velocityParameters and then only, i can see the string or date.

but while passing through the object then it shows me as shown behavour.

Sorry to update bit late.

the issue was resolve.

I needed to create methods instead of keep public variables into object and then all methods accessible through velocity object.

public Map<Issue, List<Worklog>> GetAllWorkLogs()

{

return _allworklogs;

}

public void SettAllWorkLogs(Map<Issue,List<Worklog>> value)()

{

_allworklogs = value;

}

instead of keeping direct variable as below:

public Map<Issue, List<Worklog>> allWorkLogs = new Hashtable<Issue, List<Worklog>>();

actually, i tried to access as like C# or .NET getter/setter properties.

Thanks.
