Re: [FMPP] Dealing with reserved names

[Bruce P. <bpe...@ya...>]

It must be something else that I'm doing wrong with my FreeMarker syntax then. The data is correct in the map. I can see it in java. I can't see it displayed with FreeMarker when the key name is 'default'. If I change the name from 'default' to something else, everyone's happy.

Are you saying that you have a map with a key named 'default' and the value is displayed correctly?

If I find out anything that I'm doing wrong, I'll post. What version of FreeMarker are you testing with? And how can I know what version my application is using?

That name is not reserved in FreeMarker. (It's used like
foo?default('-'), but the possible words after the ? are specified by
the template language, so it's not like reserving them.)

FreeMarker doesn't reserve any map keys. But to be sure that there is
no bug with the "default" key, I tried that and it works for me. I
guess the problem is rather with the data source that you use to read
the database. Or maybe simply the SQL statement is wrong.
