As I just explained on the Velocity list, this is probably normal 
behaviour of Velocity. It's not intended to work the way you are trying 
to do it.

If $..getNumber(5) works that's cool, but otherwise I'd suggest either 
making a getNumber() method that returns a list that you can index, or 
make a method that returns the action itself, e.g.:
public Object getAction()
{
   return this;
}

Then you can access it using the Velocity syntax "$action.getNumber(5)"

Not squaky clean, but it'd work :-)
