["Daniel Dekany (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-40?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Daniel Dekany closed FREEMARKER-40.
-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

I close this as "won't fix" because I see no way to make this better. Not in a backward compatible way (i.e., in 2.x) at least.

> In ClassIntrospector.discoverAccessibleMethods, the assumption is made, that only public classes can have accessible methods. This is plainly wrong: For example, a private object might be implementing an interface.
> Freemarker should detect public gettters, and treat them as accessible. At the very least, it should inform the user about the problem. A message like
>   "Key <propertyName> was not found on an instance of ..."
> should be replaced by
>   "Key <propertyName> was not found on an instance of ..."
>   "A possible reason is,that the class must be public."
> Thanks,
> Jochen
